I am not a developer or an expert in the web community. I am just an old guy who wanted my website to be better than Wordpress could provide. I found Laravel 6 years ago, learnt it, built with it and have a website that is quite frankly ridiculous in terms of functionality and speed. Taylor and Jeffrey made that happen for me. I am very grateful :)
Laravel made me realise that Hype is trash, Functionality is Key and Focus is everything. I have built businesses that continues to pay people, and help vendors make money in NIgeria. Thank You Taylor, You gave me a tool i am comfortable coding with full time , no matter what the media says.
I sat down alone in a silent place, watched this and it felt like I'm watching a Netflix Documentary. TBH it is even better than most of the Netflix Documentaries out there! Special Thanks to Taylor, his great team and the entire Laravel community for making development process super cool 🌼
@@MalteNielson I did some digging. The only conclusion I get was that static methods are hard to test because the result is hard to predict and goes against OOP practices. I'm no expert on this, but I would say it is justifiable because PHP is capable of building an instance of a class by using magic methods and static factories. Laravel is built with this in mind. A lot of the methods are actually build to support static methods and leverages the feature of what PHP has already. This allows for classes to be instantiated without the need of calling new class here and there while allowing to chain methods easily from other methods. This is why Laravel has the best Query Builder I've ever seen on any frameworks. Because it's much simpler. People called it developer-friendly because of Laravel's great extensive documentation, highly expressive syntaxes. Which allows any beginners can start coding on Laravel without knowing any practices of OOP in the first place.
Hi Laravel community, Taylor & his Development team, they are doing an Amazing job. We would like to have Laracon in Africa 🌍 too. Greetings from Kigali, Rwanda 🇷🇼. Community is growing rapidly, we're just getting started. Thank you Otwell. May Almighty GOD bless you and your 👪.
I came into the Laravel community when 8 was just released. Been working jobs that use the framework ever since. It literally is such a great framework and experience to work with. I am super surprised though the Laravel daily guy wasn't in this documentary, he by far is one of the best people to learn the framework from. He got me more in the habit of always questioning if there is a better way to implement the code i end up writing. He has the best optimal tips on the framework out there
I setup my online business 4 years ago and Laravel made it all possible. I’ve worked full time developing it and now my site does all sorts of complex automation and integration and stuff that I would never have believed I could implement myself. Thanks Taylor and everyone who’s made it possible.
I’ve been working as a Laravel developer since 2016 and still get excited about it. Taylor, Jeffrey and Dayle have all been immensely valuable resources over the years. Definitely owe a lot to those guys.
I feel like the web developer community needs to create a programmer's Oscars just so we can give Jeffrey Way an award. I can't think of any single person I've learned more from. Back when he was with Envato/Tuts+ that was my main place to find new frameworks I should probably learn, or keep an eye on and now Laracasts. And he's the only one I never had to put the video on 2X speed until they got to the point.
Great documentary, fabulous team and an amazing guy. Really grateful for the work Taylor has made in bringing out laravel and continuous updates over a period of time. Now it's not just the dev community benefitting from it but the tech has been able to support a number of beneficiaries. The companies working on laravel, jobs created in the market and projects built on laravel are all supporting and helping every single individual and end-users taking laravel not only as a framework but for the greater good of well being.
from indonesia, using laravel since version 3 from cakephp 2, saved my career in programming thank you taylor otwell and the community, you saved many programmer especially in those who learn php
I’ve 6 years using Laravel. Everything about Laravel is totally awesome. I feel so much fun when using Laravel. Thank you for all contributors who are make Laravel great. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I started using Laravel in 2017. I had no idea what language I was going to write my new project in, so I did the same thing I did in 1998 when I chose Java over C++, a deep search of current languages and opinion. That took me to PHP, and from there, Laravel. My first commercial app was out before the end of the year, and I've been messing around with Laravel ever since, including rewriting that first app from scratch with Laravel 8, and then upgrading it to Laravel 9 in 2022. Every day I love it more. Thanks for this origin story. It's amazing how few people it takes to build an empire.
I worked with PHP from 1998 to 2014 and definitely my best years with it was when Laravel was launched - I used Laravel briefly, but it was beautiful. I don't use PHP since then (Elixir + Erlang + Phoenix here), but if I were to come back to the language, I'd definitely use Laravel again.
I'm Tanzanian ,I dedicate these thanks to all team members who made Laravel framework .It is very friendly to use and more secured with no vulnerabilities at all 💪
Laravel is awesome & the work that team has been doing along with the community is just mind-blowing. Great documentary, thank you for making this happen!
I learned Laravel in 2015 for the first time, but started working with it as a professional developer since 2017. When I started, Jeffery Way was my hero. Listening to his tutorials on Laracast helped me learn the basics correctly and fast. I am proud to be part of this great community.
I built my first real fullstack project for a company using Laravel. It was a joy to use and even though my career has taken me other places, I still remember how fun it was to build that product in Laravel.
I got into Laravel by doing an internship at a company that was switching from WordPress to Laravel. I've build several projects in Laravel now and it was amazing. Massive respect to the Laravel team and everyone who contributed.
If my memory serves me right - I started using Laravel around 10 years ago and never turned back. Best framework ever. I have to give credit to Phil Sturgeon from FUEL PHP for finding Laravel - because I read an article where he praised Taylor for doing something really cool worth looking at... and said to myself "hmm, this looks legit" and there it was ;) Taylor looked like he was right out of high school at the time. Wow the time has passed quickly. This documentary makes me want to contribute more to open source.
Laravel gave me the bootstraps to get started with programming. I have expanded to other programming languages than PHP but nothing comes close to the ease of use than the Laravel framework on top of PHP. The joy I have in programming is thanks to Laravel and all the great packages, so I am truly thankful for it. Thanks Taylor for creating Laravel and releasing it for free!
Without engineering background, Laravel helps me learn web development even programming in general and landed a software engineering Job. Thanks Laravel, my first and everlasting love!
What amazing story! I am one of those who has built his career because of Laravel, and I am extremely grateful for everyone’s hard work! I couldn’t be in a better community!
Hello, I'm from Madagascar ( 🇲🇬 ), thank you for your creations and teachings. I learned a lot about programming techniques when I started my adventure on Laravel, thank you very much.
Taylor is beyond genius, everything that laravel provide is useful and really cut long development time dealing with basic things. Also the intention of helping others is really kind. Thank you Taylor and team
I saw Laravel many years ago, and dismissed it because it was just Ruby on Rails for PHP. Seeing it today, I still think it looks so much like RoR, but so much more mature and polished, I'm really investing my time into learning it.
Laravel is one of the most refined framework out there. It does make development experience feel like a breeze and it is naturally beautifully written and its simple. Using almost every programming principles perfectly.
@Nikola B. A lots of programming languages are available at the moment, but since Laravel is present, it is possible to maintain - even corporate level - complex projects in PHP much easier than before... and this, combined with the PHP's easy learning curve.
@Nikola B. sorry, it is a missundestooding here. I didnt meant this way. There was only one thing that was in my mind: since Laravel is present, even more developers use PHP again to create corporate level software. Since JS became a backend stack as well, and since Go is here as well, we see even Java loosing space. But not PHP - despite the fact that a lots of developers - usually from other stacks - says that PHP is dying. But, since such a great framework like Laravel (and Symfony) is present, PHP is a serious web development language to consider even for big corporate projects as well. So, I did not want to take any credit from the PHP core developers. They did a very good job with the language. I really like the direction they are heading to.
@Nikola B. you should learn Laravel. It will make much easyer to maintain your code/project, and also a lots of PHP Developers enjoy working with Laravel, wich will ease the recruting process. as well.
@Nikola B. I have used Laravel in a lots of different - heavily loaded corporate projects, and indeed - when it is misused, Eloquent can produce issues. But if you use it properly, a lots of good things are handled in a very elegant, robust and dinamic way and thus, it can ease the development process as well.
@Nikola B. That's of course the case with any ORM, but the work that's been put into Eloquent to make it work in multiple cases, the extendibility/expandability is definitely there. Somewhere, someone has hit your use case and shared their knowledge, and if not.. it's not that big of a jump to make your use case work the way you want. There's tons of resources available to do just that. Outside of the ORM, there's a whole load of stuff and valuable resources, even stuff that's not fully documented yet (though, the documentation that exists is *chefs kiss*), but is already in use, maintained by third parties or open source so you can either join their cause or make a fork of your own. Even when you have to look for your problem, put "laravel" in the query, and pretty sure you'll be on your way.
Great documentary, huge fan! I started rConfig 10 years ago also. 4 years, I switched its core to Laravel. Best thing I ever did. 1000's of IT networks all over the world rely on it. I can identify with taylors personal feelings on the project, oh and I just love coding in Laravel (and Vue )... Keep it up Man!
I was a .Net developer and when I found Laravel and Laracasts my entire development focus changed overnight. I used to hate web development and now I love it and do it everyday. Thank you Taylor!
Funny. I was PHP and .NET-developer and found Ruby on Rails and I feel the same way. Laravel is very good, but at the time (2010) PHP was in a really bad spot. I haven't touched PHP since, maybe it's straighten up now...
@@trefwoordpunk2225 funny how there is a lot of people coming from .net in the laravel community and people coming from laravel in the .net community feel like, there is a exchange event every now and then lol
Absolutely incredible Documentary. I started my programming career by learning Laravel in my room as a high-school student and it remains one of my favorite programming frameworks.
2 ปีที่แล้ว +8
Amazing! I've been using Laravel since 5.6, and it helped me a lot on my carreer! Great framework, great documentary!
Thank you Taylor for creating laravel and building all the community of amazing people around it. I'm from Algeria 🇩🇿 and laravel is the first framework used by freelancers and agencies here.
Hi there! Taylor, I'm one of those people you talked about: I built my career over Laravel and it's the technology that allows maintaining my family. 🙂. The way I met Laravel was back in 2014, in a Zend Framework course and I thought "there has to be something easier that this massive, heavy juggernaut", and there was Laravel: fresh, simple and understandable. BTW: I was expecting for a section in the documentary talking about the jump from V4 to V5 as it was a big change in the direction of the framework, isn't it?
Love laravel as a new jr developer it’s amazing. Thank you to everyone who made laravel possible. Can’t wait to see what’s next. I’m here for the long run ❤
it's nice to see the background stories about the PHP Framework that I really love, it brings back to my first encounter with it, back to when I soo was blown away by how easy it was to use, it was 5.3 version, I'm almost blind of PHP language back then, but yet I can fairly understand it, that shows how powerful Laravel is. At least for me
If laravel makes professional level code tutorials where they explain everything about the code and design it'll be really cool to see how much further it will go
Reading through and performing some research. PHP and Larabel will be my go to Micro-SaaS stack! Excited to begin this journey down Laravel and PHP! Super stocked and can't wait to connect with folks from this community!
I just started web development using WordPress in 2018 and began web programming last year. I'm looking for the stack of PHP or JS to delve on. I like the way of coding in PHP because, like VB, it's more friendly. One more thing is that you can still use the basic foundation of web programming integrating PHP, JS, HTML and CSS. Later on, I found this Laravel and it was so interesting!!! I love it.
Oh my gosh! What a cool sort of rare video I just saw, still in a shock and amazed by this awesome documentary. Thanks a lot for making this cool documentary and for giving me some kind of hidden motivation! 😍👍💯
This is not just a simple Documentary🔥, this is super inspiring and a real life "life changing" display! ❤ Special Thanks to Taylor, his great team and the entire Laravel community for reviving an almost dead programming language and literally bring it back on the top! leaving your finger prints in tech world is highly appreciated and looking forward for seeing more of your wonderful success story 🏆
Great documentary and great to see that Laravel help a lot of people to write better and faster Webapps including me. When I found Laravel in 2015 I fell in love. Here in Germany Laravel developers needed more and more and that’s amazing! We have a very amazing and helpfully community so everyone is welcome! All love for Laravel and the community!
Great topic and content, thank you! You should consider to turn down the music volume (or even skip it) while a person is talking. Good luck on your next project.
Been using laravel from version 5. For my own projects and client projects. Laravel let me to focus to build my idea, my startup. If i using other tools, maybe i feel exhausted in the middle of my way to release and make user to get the benefit. I can make sure my idea has the market, then scale gradually
Nice, yeah, I've first met Laravel in 2012, and I was trying other languages, because at that time, all the existing frameworks wasn't intuitive neither fluent, they had a lot of magic methods and things that was hard to modify. Without Laravel I would left PHP for ever, besides I've working with other languages, PHP and Laravel is my favorite! Thanks Taylor an all the Laravel team.
I don't comment a lot but this is an amazing video, you can really tell that this people are passion about what they are doing. Something I don't see anymore in web
With all the backend frameworks out there nothing beats Laravel for sure! I always come back to Laravel because it is so much easier to work with compared to other frameworks!
Laravel has a very great and easy documentation and enables developers to focus more on code and less configurations very nice framework (got my first job with this framework).
Really? It was the first one that made me really agree with Rasmus when he said the frameworks all SUCK! He hadn't seen Trongate PHP at that time however....
That's funny, I have wasted DAYS trying to get dev environment to run a simple Laravel tutorial, only to find everything in tutorial was already out of date and everything about Laravel had changed. That doesn't save time, that wastes everyone's time, money and energy. Trongate PHP framework I can get up and running (and it can build a backend and API for me) in a couple of minutes....
I really enjoyed this documentary! Thank you for your work (both to Laravel and OfferZen). I haven't really used Laravel since I do not code on PHP but seeing how much detail and dedication has been put in the making... now I am curious to see where it can get me!
Everything in the Laravel Ecosystem is just perfect up to a certain point. I even get inspired by the quotes that Livewire generates on make:livewire command.. thank you for all your work
I remember when I started to learn php using the tutorial of Jeffrey Way “Php Practitioner” its an OOP Tutorial of laravel introduces the routing and using of composer, an introduction to Laravel 😊
This documentary is awesome, it really is. However, I think the music is just a tad bit too loud, might be my headphones but it's quite unpleasing. Really good job though. Please keep it coming!
Nice documentary! It's very weird that Ruby on Rails and Railscasts is not mentioned though. Laravel basically started as a PHP port of Ruby on Rails (which been around since 2004). All the contributors is awesome, but David Heinemeier Hanson and the Ruby on Rails core team should at least be mentioned, since their work clearly influenced the framework in the first place.
The comment that I was looking for. No ones here has mentioned RoR. I'm a Laravel developer with 3+ years of experience, and a few days ago I started learning Ruby and because of that I found comments about what you mentioned. Do you have a source where I can learn more about how Laravel was influeced by RoR?
@@juliosalguero425 first of all, RoR was extracted from Basecamp and was first released in 2004. If you compare Laravel (and Django for that matter) and Rails it has adopted almost all key features and framework design that made Rails successful in the first place, like convention over configuration, database migrations, asset pipeline, command-line tooling etc. To me, it’s quite clear that Laravel would not exist if Rails was not invented. I really don’t mean to bash Laravel though, but I think it’s very strange to not mention the inspiration. The documentary is like a band who covers a Beatles tune, and then giving interviews explaining how they did the songwriting process…
I am not a developer or an expert in the web community. I am just an old guy who wanted my website to be better than Wordpress could provide. I found Laravel 6 years ago, learnt it, built with it and have a website that is quite frankly ridiculous in terms of functionality and speed. Taylor and Jeffrey made that happen for me. I am very grateful :)
That’s amazing, may I ask what kind of website is it?
As a young software engineer, you sir, are amazing
Laravel made me realise that Hype is trash, Functionality is Key and Focus is everything. I have built businesses that continues to pay people, and help vendors make money in NIgeria. Thank You Taylor, You gave me a tool i am comfortable coding with full time , no matter what the media says.
true bro, hype is trash
I sat down alone in a silent place, watched this and it felt like I'm watching a Netflix Documentary. TBH it is even better than most of the Netflix Documentaries out there!
Special Thanks to Taylor, his great team and the entire Laravel community for making development process super cool 🌼
Laravel is so far the best Framework. Well structured, straightforward, easy to use and developer friendly.
The best framework as a framework where static methods are everywhere? These two things cannot go together
@@devnullex May I ask why?
@@gtdmg489 Leaving a reply to know the answer for this as well.
@@MalteNielson I did some digging. The only conclusion I get was that static methods are hard to test because the result is hard to predict and goes against OOP practices.
I'm no expert on this, but I would say it is justifiable because PHP is capable of building an instance of a class by using magic methods and static factories.
Laravel is built with this in mind. A lot of the methods are actually build to support static methods and leverages the feature of what PHP has already.

The way I met Laravel was back in 2014, in a Zend Framework course and I thought "there has to be something easier that this massive, heavy juggernaut", and there was Laravel: fresh, simple and understandable.
BTW: I was expecting for a section in the documentary talking about the jump from V4 to V5 as it was a big change in the direction of the framework, isn't it?
Thank you Taylor & Amazing Team for the Amazing Job!! You're creating ton of job for PHP's coder.
Love laravel as a new jr developer it’s amazing. Thank you to everyone who made laravel possible. Can’t wait to see what’s next. I’m here for the long run ❤
Thank you for all laravel developers and community
Laravel changed my life in so many ways, it's officially on my gratitude list
Thank you so much for this.
it's nice to see the background stories about the PHP Framework that I really love, it brings back to my first encounter with it, back to when I soo was blown away by how easy it was to use, it was 5.3 version, I'm almost blind of PHP language back then, but yet I can fairly understand it, that shows how powerful Laravel is. At least for me
My time as a developer on two other PHP CMS/Platforms almost killed my love of coding. Laravel is bringing it back.
If laravel makes professional level code tutorials where they explain everything about the code and design it'll be really cool to see how much further it will go
Reading through and performing some research. PHP and Larabel will be my go to Micro-SaaS stack! Excited to begin this journey down Laravel and PHP! Super stocked and can't wait to connect with folks from this community!
I just started web development using WordPress in 2018 and began web programming last year. I'm looking for the stack of PHP or JS to delve on. I like the way of coding in PHP because, like VB, it's more friendly. One more thing is that you can still use the basic foundation of web programming integrating PHP, JS, HTML and CSS.
Later on, I found this Laravel and it was so interesting!!! I love it.
The guy is funny, he's not even mentioning Symfony, not once in the video if I'm not mistaken, yet, many of Laravel features come from Symfony...
Laravel has saved a lot of my time. 😁 I hope more people will use Laravel. ❤️
Hats off to the Offerzen for bringing the best Documentary ever made in this universe
Now that's a statement 😂 thank you Oggie!
Thank you Taylor Otwell! For changing the PHP framework world!
Oh my gosh! What a cool sort of rare video I just saw, still in a shock and amazed by this awesome documentary. Thanks a lot for making this cool documentary and for giving me some kind of hidden motivation! 😍👍💯
This is not just a simple Documentary🔥, this is super inspiring and a real life "life changing" display! ❤
Special Thanks to Taylor, his great team and the entire Laravel community for reviving an almost dead programming language and literally bring it back on the top! leaving your finger prints in tech world is highly appreciated and looking forward for seeing more of your wonderful success story 🏆
Great documentary and great to see that Laravel help a lot of people to write better and faster Webapps including me. When I found Laravel in 2015 I fell in love. Here in Germany Laravel developers needed more and more and that’s amazing! We have a very amazing and helpfully community so everyone is welcome! All love for Laravel and the community!
Great topic and content, thank you!
You should consider to turn down the music volume (or even skip it) while a person is talking.
Good luck on your next project.
Been using laravel from version 5. For my own projects and client projects. Laravel let me to focus to build my idea, my startup. If i using other tools, maybe i feel exhausted in the middle of my way to release and make user to get the benefit. I can make sure my idea has the market, then scale gradually
Nice, yeah, I've first met Laravel in 2012, and I was trying other languages, because at that time, all the existing frameworks wasn't intuitive neither fluent, they had a lot of magic methods and things that was hard to modify. Without Laravel I would left PHP for ever, besides I've working with other languages, PHP and Laravel is my favorite! Thanks Taylor an all the Laravel team.
I don't comment a lot but this is an amazing video, you can really tell that this people are passion about what they are doing. Something I don't see anymore in web
I don't comment a lot. But when I do...
Wow! I am even more encouraged to get more involved with this community. Thanks and God bless 🤓
The Best PHP Framework, been in laravel since 2015 on and off and I never look for another web framework!
Awesome documentary. It is thanks to Laravel that I was able to get into the industry.
It's fun that for it's envato years, I still follow Jeffrey Way's courses. The best teacher on this planet
With all the backend frameworks out there nothing beats Laravel for sure! I always come back to Laravel because it is so much easier to work with compared to other frameworks!
Thanks OfferZen for this amazing documentary.
Laravel saved me a lot of time kudos Taylor and the community.
One of the earliest adopters of laravel since 2013 till infinity 👍
I'm chilling in my Controller while listening this Laravel documentary in background :) feel so good
Laravel has a very great and easy documentation and enables developers to focus more on code and less configurations
very nice framework (got my first job with this framework).
Laravel Is the Best Framework of the Web. For the entire ecosystem around it, as documentation, packages and complementary systems.
Laravel is the first framework that I’ve seen and went “This makes sense”
Really? It was the first one that made me really agree with Rasmus when he said the frameworks all SUCK! He hadn't seen Trongate PHP at that time however....
amazing documentary. laravel looks like such a wonderful community from the outside. congrats Laravel team!
Look who it is... We'll see you on this channel soon 😁
Happy you liked it!
Laravel is one of the best frameworks out there saves so much time with things that normally take hrs, would never go back to "vanilla" php again.
That's funny, I have wasted DAYS trying to get dev environment to run a simple Laravel tutorial, only to find everything in tutorial was already out of date and everything about Laravel had changed. That doesn't save time, that wastes everyone's time, money and energy. Trongate PHP framework I can get up and running (and it can build a backend and API for me) in a couple of minutes....
I really enjoyed this documentary! Thank you for your work (both to Laravel and OfferZen). I haven't really used Laravel since I do not code on PHP but seeing how much detail and dedication has been put in the making... now I am curious to see where it can get me!
Everything in the Laravel Ecosystem is just perfect up to a certain point. I even get inspired by the quotes that Livewire generates on make:livewire command.. thank you for all your work
I remember when I started to learn php using the tutorial of Jeffrey Way “Php Practitioner” its an OOP Tutorial of laravel introduces the routing and using of composer, an introduction to Laravel 😊
I'm from wynne, AR. Just spent the weekend in Hot Springs! Good things do come out of Arkansas
Great work here guys, I really enjoyed this documentary.
Thanks a lot for making this Documentary, I have enjoyed watching it .
Enjoyed my time, watching the show) thank you so much. Laravel really brings joy to my work
I just started my journey and found this great channel. Thanks for producing this!
Thank you so much. Inspiring story for anyone works in the field. Thank you, Taylor, and everyone was involved.
This documentary is awesome, it really is. However, I think the music is just a tad bit too loud, might be my headphones but it's quite unpleasing. Really good job though. Please keep it coming!
Nice documentary! It's very weird that Ruby on Rails and Railscasts is not mentioned though. Laravel basically started as a PHP port of Ruby on Rails (which been around since 2004). All the contributors is awesome, but David Heinemeier Hanson and the Ruby on Rails core team should at least be mentioned, since their work clearly influenced the framework in the first place.
The comment that I was looking for. No ones here has mentioned RoR.
I'm a Laravel developer with 3+ years of experience, and a few days ago I started learning Ruby and because of that I found comments about what you mentioned.
Do you have a source where I can learn more about how Laravel was influeced by RoR?
@@juliosalguero425 first of all, RoR was extracted from Basecamp and was first released in 2004. If you compare Laravel (and Django for that matter) and Rails it has adopted almost all key features and framework design that made Rails successful in the first place, like convention over configuration, database migrations, asset pipeline, command-line tooling etc. To me, it’s quite clear that Laravel would not exist if Rails was not invented.
I really don’t mean to bash Laravel though, but I think it’s very strange to not mention the inspiration.
The documentary is like a band who covers a Beatles tune, and then giving interviews explaining how they did the songwriting process…
it was great to see the people behind it! Thanks for sharing this with the comunity
So happy to be part of Laravel world :)
Shot Offerzen! That was absolutely awesome! 💪
