Who teaches Build a Placekitten clone with Silex? Codecourse
Codecourse is a UK-based PHP / Laravel video tutorial platform founded by Alex Garrett in 2015. The platform is one of the longer-running independent Laravel education sources and has built a substantial catalog of focused screencasts on the framework and its surrounding ecosystem.
The course catalog covers Laravel in depth (the framework's evolution from version 5 through current), Vue.js (often paired with Laravel for full-stack work), Inertia.js, Livewire, the testing tracks (Pest, PHPUnit), Laravel package development, the deployment side (Forge, Vapor), and a long list of focused topic series. Material is screencast-format, typically broken into 3-7 minute focused lessons.
The CourseFlix listing under this source carries 10 Codecourse courses spanning that range. Material is paid; Codecourse runs on a monthly / annual subscription on the original platform. Courses are aimed at PHP developers building production Laravel applications.
