[PHP] bootstrap/php/laravel general questions --looking for place to ask, or for mentor

Hi.

Looking into php/laravel with bootstrap theme as a test. I’ve got a bunch of questions and haven’t found sites that walk through the process from start to end. Sites appear to make assumptions, and going from different sites to figure things out is the “rabbit” hole. So. I’m looking for some place/person I can discuss/talk to.

thanks

-and yes, for the right solution, fee can be discussed if reasonable.

thanks again

The obvious starting point for learning Laravel is the official docs: Installation - Laravel 11.x - The PHP Framework For Web Artisans - also check out the Bootcamp linked from there.

For asking Laravel specific questions I'd suggest a Laravel specific chat / forum is your best bet. There's a number of venues that fit this description:

* Official Discord (linked from the Laravel site footer): Laravel
* Project GitHub Discussions: laravel/framework · Discussions · GitHub
* Laracasts Forums (semi-official project forums): https://laracasts.com/discuss
* https://www.reddit.com/r/laravel/

Feel free to ask questions on this list too, but I would suggest you're likely to get a better response rate on the above resources. This list is more focused on "vanilla PHP", so answers here may not necessarily follow "the Laravel way", and chat / forums tend to be more popular, particularly with many Laravel users.

In general I would suggest it's unlikely you'll find any one resource that provides a tutorial that gives you exactly what you want. You are going to have to piece together knowledge and adapt what they teach you to what you want to achieve.
