Presets & Jetstream, with Michael Dyrynda
One of the most powerful tools in creating Laravel apps quickly is how much you can get done in an app that just contains the skeleton scaffold Laravel comes with. The frontend presets, which in Laravel 8+ are now contained in a tool called Jetstream, allow you to scaffold your frontend build tooling and user registration, login, and management, all with a single command.

Migrations, Factories, and Seeding, with John Bonaccorsi
Eloquent and the Query Builder allow us to interact with our database, but how do we get those databases in the right shape?

Eloquent and the Query Builder, with Jonathan Reinink
Very few Laravel applications don’t have a data store backing them, and the vast majority are backed by a relational database like MySQL. Laravel’s built-in tooling for interacting with databases, Eloquent and the Query Builder, are powerful, flexible, easy-to-use tools that will get you moving quickly but stay flexible as your app grows.Jonathan Reinink is the author of Eloquent Performance Patterns (https://eloquent-course.reinink.ca/) and a prolific teacher about Laravel and databases.Jonathan Reinink (https://reinink.ca/)Inertia JS (https://inertiajs.com/)What is an ORM?

Routing and Blade, with Caleb Porzio
Any web-based application routes all its requests through URL. Laravel’s routing allows you to define URLs, URL patterns, and HTTP Verbs to match you users’ incoming request to your application’s logic. And, while not all web-based applications return HTML, most do, so let’s also get familiar with Blade, Laravel’s templating language. In this episode, Caleb Porzio, creator of Laravel Livewire and Alpine.js, talks about routing and Blade.Caleb on Twitter: https://twitter.com/calebporzioLivewire: https://laravel-livewire.com/Alpine: https://github.com/alpinejs/alpine/Sticker pack: https://stickers.calebporzio.com/Sushi: https://github.com/calebporzio/sushi/Tighten: https://tighten.co/Laravel Blade: https://laravel.com/docs/7.x/bladeTwig: https://twig.symfony.com/@overwrite answers for Blade: https://www.reddit.com/r/laravel/comments/3om7p3/missing_from_the_blade_docs_show_overwrite_append/cvypt9h/YouTube teachers: TraversyLivewire screencasts: https://laravel-livewire.com/screencasts/installationTALLStack: https://tallstack.dev/Make VS Code Awesome: https://makevscodeawesome.com/ -----Editing sponsored by Tighten; transcript sponsored by Larajobs.
