  1. Episodes (8)

    1. Introduction

      Before we fully dive in, give me just a few moments to detail the new terrain.

    2. Bower

      Laravel 5 ships with some helpful Bower configuration. Think of Bower as "Composer for the front-end." It's incredibly simple to use.

    3. Elixir Asset Compilation

      Let's now focus our energy on Laravel Elixir. We'll begin by reviewing how easy it is to compile your Sass, Less, or CoffeeScript files.

    4. Elixir Asset Concatenation

      To save on countless HTTP requests, you'll often want to merge, or concatenate, any number of stylesheets or scripts. Let me show you how to do this, using Laravel Elixir.

    5. Elixir TDD

      We can also use Elixir to assist with test-driven development. Let me show you what I mean!

    6. Bootstrap Usage

      If Laravel includes Twitter Bootstrap out of the box, then it makes sense for us to take at least a few moments to review the basic workflow.

    7. Elixir Versioning

      Elixir and Gulp can easily assist you, when it comes to the versioning of files. If you've been manually updating your file paths to force cache-busting, you're in for a treat. Trust me, this is a cinch!

    8. Browserify, ES6, and React

      Elixir includes Browserify support with EcmaScript 6 transformation straight out of the box. It literally couldn't be simpler. In this video, I'll demonstrate the basic workflow you'll use for your own applications.
