Told my boss that i don't understand Laravel because i never use PHP in any project before.But he told me that it is so easy and give me 2 week to explore.

I know java, c#, python but don't know why it's hard for me to understand Laravel framework.

Dude laravel is easier than spring , more or less the same as Django

At some point it kinda clicks i guess. Could be worth it to grab a course on udemy or something.

Its sort of like ASP.net (🤢)

Laravel is super easy to get started with.

Laravel is super easy to shoot yourself in the foot with

Maybe because you are unfamiliar with PHP?

@Lensflare

Most definitely am, not gonna lie.

But it does have many "eldritch auto magic" things that I'm not particularly fond of.

They tend to work nicely when you stay within the walled garden but are a pain when you need to venture off.

Guess it's just dinosaur mentality of always wanting everything explicit, bear with me. 🤷🦖😂

@CoreFusionX the thing is, Laravel does give you the freedom to do what ever you want.

It's the execution of that where most developers mess up and come up with crappy solutions

Symfony > Laravel

If you are familiar with .Net MVC or Django it should be trivial to pick up Laravel, the basic concepts are the same.

do you *want* to understand Laravel? if you do Java and C#, the namespace and class system for oop that php has is (for the most part) copied from those two. But I can 100% understand not wanting to learn something when you already know something else.

In outsourcing this was standard for me. Even got outsourced as delphi programmer and then forced to learn. Crazy times

@Jabb03 is Zend still a thing?

@TheCommoner282 heh, googled it few hours ago and also already forgot it's name. Bad name

same here I've worked previously in Node.js now they told me to get into ASP.Net Core.

@retoor No idea, it was already kinda old news when I was working with PHP 5 years ago.
