Laravel Fundamentals By Leah Thompson

Build Modern, Fullstack Applications with Laravel
Build a MeetUp-style fullstack Laravel app with React & Inertia.js. Learn Laravel fundamentals like routing, data loading, business logic, auth, background jobs, and more. By the end, you'll have shipped a real internal app to production and have a mental model of how Laravel makes full-stack development faster, simpler, and a lot less repetitive.
What You Will Master
Understand the request lifecycle, how routes, controllers, and models fit together, and why Laravel replaces so much of the glue code you'd otherwise write yourself.
Load and pass data to your React components, protect routes with middleware, enforce permissions with policies, and let Laravel own the rules so your frontend doesn't have to.
Build and ship production-ready features - from forms and validation to background jobs and email, you'll use Laravel's built-in tools to handle the hard parts of a real app and deploy it with Laravel Cloud.
Prerequisites
Experience building single page applications with a Vanilla JS or a framework like React

Who is this for?
