Adventures in Laravel 5

Excellent intro into Laravel 5

Nice to pick up new trick with Laravel - thanks

A very solid talk covering almost all of the core concepts of Laravel (of which there are many...) without getting too bogged down in any specific area. It may have helped if the slide deck had been more thoroughly reorganized from a three-hour workshop into a fifty-minute talk, but even that didn't stop Joe's knowledge and passion from shining through.

I have recently started learning Laravel. This talk let me know I am headed in the right direction. There was a lot of information to digest.

This was a great talk, Joe. I like the quick start git repo that I can take away with this talk to explore more.

I would recommend talking about the sample site first before diving into the code (what is the purpose of the site, how would users interact with it, what is it trying to achieve) so I would know what I am looking at at each step of the way in the code.
