A Portable, Pre-Built Dev Environment for Laravel

Laravel Homestead packages a complete development environment—Ubuntu, Nginx, MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, Redis, Memcached, Node with Yarn/PM2/Bower/Grunt/Gulp, and more—into a single shareable configuration. This course walks through setting it up so you stop installing software directly on your machine and start working in a consistent, portable virtual environment.

Who It's For

Laravel developers who've outgrown a bare-bones local setup and want the flexibility and power that comes with a dedicated environment, especially useful once you're juggling multiple projects.

What You'll Get

A working Homestead environment configured with the full stack out of the box
An understanding of why a virtual environment prevents conflicts between projects
A configuration you can hand off to teammates so everyone runs the exact same setup

The appeal here is portability: once configured, your Homestead box can be shared with a coworker or collaborator, and they're up and running in minutes with an identical toolchain.

About this course

Welcome to this Laravel Homestead course!

Laravel is a very popular PHP framework that allows developers to create really cool applications, easily and fast. As you progress in your understanding of Laravel and your start creating more and more projects, you come to the realization that you need a little more power and flexibility; That's where Homestead comes in.

Laravel Homestead is a package or as some of us call it a "box" full of Laravel goodies inside. Right out of the box Laravel Homestead includes ....

Ubuntu 16.04
Git
PHP 7.1
Nginx
MySQL
MariaDB
Sqlite3
Postgres
Composer
Node (With Yarn, PM2, Bower, Grunt, and Gulp)
Redis
Memcached
Beanstalkd

As you can see, here is everything you need to start creating projects right away. The great thing about this, is that your environment is totally portable. You can give your configuration file to a friend, co-worker and they can be up an running in minutes, exactly with the same tools you have in yours.

Another great advantage of having a virtual environment for our Laravel projects is that we don't have to install any of these softwares into our computer directly, this will prevent issues that can affect other development environments that we might have.

If you are ready to be more productive with Laravel then take this course, and I see you inside!
