学习laravel - 高级[关闭]

Question

I've been lately learning laravel. I've read many articles and the book Code Bright. I've also practiced laravel.

However, t. I feel that there are some things that laravel has to offer that I don't know about. I couldn't really understand the real usage for the Event class, more advanced Eloquent methods and generally, I feel like I've learned laravel, I know how to use it, but I don't know how to make it mine (None of the books/articles I've read were actually deep explaining about some Route methods, such as Resource or Controller and their advantages or disatvatages). I'm not necessarily talking about changing laravel settings and swapping directories. I just want to learn more about it including practical examples.

Do you guys have any book/videos/articles that you can recommend me buy/view/read?

Thanks!

P.S. Any book/video/article that is showing how to build some application is good since I can learn a lot from that

As mentioned, Laracasts.com is a great resource for learning Laravel specifically, but good PHP and general development practices in general.

There are a lot of great tutorials by Phillip Brown over at http://culttt.com/code where he documents building the open source http://cribbb.com/ app.

Laravel.io has an awesome, active forum with many super smart Laravel folks.

As for books? Of course Dayle Rees' Code Bright, but you already mentioned it. There's also:

• Taylor Otwell's Laravel: From Apprentice To Artisan
• Chris Fidao's Implementing Laravel
• Christopher Pitt and's Laravel 4 Cookbook
• Jeffrey Way's Laravel Testing Decoded.

There is so much info available for Laravel and I think you have barely scratched the surface!
