14,581 PointsLaravel - Request for track
Upon research, it turns out that Laravel is the most popular php framework. Any possibility of creating a track for this?

Hampton Paulk
5,093 PointsThis is a good thought! I am not sure about track specific to Laravel, but I will look into it as an idea Sheldon. However, I am currently developing a course on Laravel specifically, as well as, more coverage on object oriented code and frameworks in PHP.

3,557 PointsOverview videos are fine but the lack of specific training in PHP frameworks is really becoming a weakness of PHP in general. If you study Ruby, inevitably you get right down to the meat of getting work done by working with Rails. Focus on a PHP framework for a change would be refreshing.

14,581 Points@Aaron: Are you recommending 'dropping' php and switching to ruby whole because it's easier to learn and use ruby with ruby on rails? Perhaps it's a lack of information on my part, but since php has a much wider community, it makes it easier to get a job as a php programmer than ruby?
Aaron Walton
3,557 Points@sheldon no I'm not recommending that they drop PHP. I am recommending that they do some specific framework courses so that the PHP track is a viable option to the Ruby Rails track.

Travis Coats
15,058 PointsWould love to see it. It's one thing to have basic PHP courses, but frameworks are enormous and have a lot of project-specific approaches. You need to know a bit before you jump in. I have been hesitant to adopt any of the major frameworks because of my lack of experience with all the behind the scenes components. I don't care what they go with: CodeIgniter, CakePHP, Laravel, Zend etc. - just do something! :)

14,581 PointsThanks for the reply Hampton. Any 'loose' eta on when additional php related videos will be posted { Laravel or OOP }? There still are many things I want to set out to do which I don't feel yet capable from what I've learned thus far from the videos.

Sayth Renshaw
1,763 PointsLaravel is a great choice and I want to learn. It's very active and very popular. it has the advantage also that it uses a lot of symfony 2 core components as does drupal. So you get a lot of framework coverage and learning that will help across multiple frameworks and some of the biggest around.
