  1. Episodes (6)

    1. What is Spark?

      In this opening screencast, I'll give you a quick overview of what Spark is, how to install it, and what a basic setup will look like. I think you'll really enjoy the expressive syntax.

    2. How to Configure Your New App

      In this next screencast, we'll dig into how you, yourself, will get started building and configuring your own application with Spark.

    3. Intro to Team Billing

      In this next episode, I'll demonstrate team billing in Laravel Spark. In the previous lesson we reviewed single-user billing, but you can also configure Spark to bill individual teams - so that a user can belong to multiple teams, all which are on different billing plans (much like GitHub Organizations).

    4. Accessing the Current Team

      In the previous screencast, I gave you an introduction to team billing. Now, in this video, we'll discuss the concept of your "current team" - and how you might interact with that in your JavaScript and PHP code.

    5. API Driven Development

      In this episode, we'll discuss API-driven development in Laravel Spark. This is particularly nice because it allows you to use the exact same API for your web front-end as you might expose to your customers, via an external API.

    6. Kiosk

      In this lesson, we'll review Spark's developer kiosk. The kiosk is a backend interface, where you may perform a number of actions, including reviewing your daily revenue, making announcements to your users, impersonating users, and more.
