Q. I have learned a little bit of PHP before. My skills are at a beginner level. Is it okay for me to start with Laravel?

Rather, I think it is the most suitable state. Unlike the existing PHP, it uses the method of creating classes like Java and calling functions as needed, so you can learn how to write code.

Q. I only learned HTML/CSS and JavaScript. Is it okay to start Laravel from this point?

This course covers the PHP-based Laravel framework. PHP has been used primarily for backend development, but now frontends can also be handled with PHP, and this course will introduce methods for doing so.

If you have absolutely no knowledge of PHP, it may be difficult to follow the class. However, since this lecture introduces usage rather than grammar, it would be good to gradually build up your skills by searching for parts that make you wonder, “Why did I use this code?” while writing code following the practice.

Q. What level of content is covered in the class?

We cover frequently used functions regardless of difficulty, such as dynamic page generation, database ORM, file creation and deletion, and AWS usage. Advanced but less frequently used contents such as web sockets, queues, cookies, and sessions are not covered in this lecture.

Q. I can implement the frontend with React or Vue, so is there a need to use LiveWire?

There was no front-end alternative until the early days of Laravel 8. Then, LiveWire appeared along with Vite at the end of Laravel 8. This course is designed with PHP developers in mind, so it introduces LiveWire, but it is up to you to decide whether to use a JavaScript library or not. Please understand that this course does not cover how to use Vue or React.

Q. How is Laravel different from Spring and Spring Boot?

Spring Framework is a Java-based backend framework. On the other hand, Laravel is a PHP-based backend framework... but now it supports the frontend as well, increasing efficiency.
