PHP + Laravel

PHP + Laravel

Course Description

Laravel is one of the most popular web development frameworks in the world, which focuses on simplicity, elegant code, and developer experience (DX). Built on PHP language, it provides all the necessary components for the modern developer's needs.

Laravel is fluent with the officially supported ecosystem of packages, which makes development on it enjoyable. The large and active community of Laravel developers are contributing to the framework by developing interesting packages that extend the core features and simplify the development.

The demand for Laravel developers has been on the rise for the past ~5 years, and more and more projects are being developed on it. TALL stack (Tailwind CSS, Alpine JS, Laravel, and Livewire) is becoming a very popular direction for developers as well.

Certification Exam

Exam: PHP Laravel Certificate from Laravel.com

PHP is open-source technology and therefore, nobody can control and monopolize the technology. The same is situation with education and certification. There are thousands of free resources, created by the community, as well, a lot of paid training resources, created by training companies. The Laravel Certificate from Laravel.com documents your knowledge of Laravel.

In world of software development, most important is portfolio of completed projects as well technologies, that an individual knows. We advise to every student to prepare:
  • his/her portfolio with real projects.
  • to have a Git hub repo, where other people may review the quality of written code.
  • to learn in depth a language of choice, then extend with framework specifics.
  • Be kind and open to learn. Soft skills are becoming more and more important.
