EfficientNinja Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Hello guys! I know basic PHP and would like to learn the Laravel framework. I thought of learning CodeIgniter also. Can you suggest good video tutorials, books, and written tutorials learn them? I would also like to know which of these two I should learn first because I have no experience using a framework for a server-side scripting language. I also saw that some YouTube tutorials are kind of outdated. Are those still good resources? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The syntax and templating is not exactly the same and they have their own flavors. You'll become an expert in one a lot quicker. I'd suggest Laravel myself. That's the recommended and preferred framework we use in PHP for all Prodjex work. They have a few outstanding forums: https://laravel.io/forum https://laracasts.com/discuss Also Laracasts have video tutorials on almost anything you could think of https://laracasts.com/ EfficientNinja 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will do! I'll focus on Laravel now. I noticed that Laracasts have both free and paid content. Will the free stuff suffice for building basic systems? Or are they just offering the free content to gain some leads and the tutorials that have value are all in the paid section? Thanks again, admin!

I'll bump this post if I encounter a problem that Google can't help me with. Nathan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bravosi Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Better go for one direction, it won't confuse you that much. Overall, these resources are still great and up to date. Pick one and go for it, both are great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
