Master Laravel by Doing
Complete Project-Based Training
Learn Laravel by building a real survey application — from views and routing to authentication, data analytics, and deployment — so you can ship production-ready apps with confidence.
About This Course
Instead of jumping between isolated examples, you’ll work through a single, cohesive project: a fully-featured survey application. Starting with a static HTML mockup, you’ll progressively transform it into a dynamic, production-ready Laravel app using best practices throughout.
Each module builds naturally on the last, introducing new concepts when they become relevant — just like real development work.
💥 What You’ll Build & Learn
As the project evolves, you’ll implement real features you’d expect in a professional Laravel application, including:
- Blade layouts, components, and reusable views
- Clean routing and controller organization
- Database design, migrations, seeding, and Eloquent relationships
- Form handling, validation, and error workflows
- Authentication and authorization
- Middleware, sessions, and request lifecycles
- RESTful resources and admin tooling
- Email notifications and background workflows
- Survey analytics, dashboards, and reporting
- Public-facing pages and deployment considerations
By the end of the course, you won’t just understand how Laravel works — you’ll understand how to structure, grow, and maintain a real Laravel project.
👉 Who This Course Is For
This course is ideal for:
- Developers who already know PHP and basic Laravel concepts
- Laravel users who feel stuck in “tutorial hell”
- Developers who want to learn why things are done a certain way, not just what to type
- Anyone who wants a realistic Laravel project they can learn from — or reference later
If you’re looking for quick tips or surface-level introductions, this probably isn’t for you.
If you want depth, context, and practical experience, you’re in the right place.
🎬 Course Format
- 17 structured modules
- 50 long-form videos
- 16+ hours of in-depth instruction
- One continuous, real-world project
- Immediate access to all lessons
The videos are intentionally long-form, allowing ideas to be fully explained and implemented — because real understanding doesn’t happen in five-minute clips.
It’s a deep dive into practical Laravel — one that connects concepts to craftsmanship. ⚡

Course Roadmap
Many Laravel courses either stay too basic or jump into abstractions without explaining how everything fits together.
This course takes a different approach. You’ll build a real Laravel application from the ground up, learning concepts in context and applying best practices as the project evolves.
This curriculum follows a single, continuous project — each module adds meaningful functionality to the same application.
Meet Your Instructor
Hi, I’m Bob Cravens — a software developer, consultant, and educator with years of experience building and maintaining real-world web applications.
I run a technology consulting company where I help clients design, build, and evolve production systems. That experience directly shapes how I teach. The patterns, tradeoffs, and decisions you’ll see in this course aren’t theoretical — they’re the same ones I use when building software that has to be understood, maintained, and extended over time.
I created Pragmatic Laravel because too many tutorials focus on isolated features without showing how everything fits together. Real applications don’t exist in fragments — and learning shouldn’t either.
My goal with this course isn’t just to show you how Laravel works, but to help you understand how to think about building Laravel applications — from structure and flow to long-term maintainability.
If you’re looking for quick tricks or shortcuts, this probably isn’t the right fit. If you want depth, context, and a realistic development experience, you’ll feel right at home.

Why This Series?
Most Laravel tutorials focus on isolated features or polished demos. That’s useful for reference — but it doesn’t teach you how real applications are built.
This series takes a different approach.
Instead of jumping between disconnected examples, you’ll work through a single, evolving project. You’ll see how decisions made early affect later features, how tradeoffs are evaluated, and how structure matters as an application grows.
The videos are intentionally long-form. Not to waste time — but to show complete thought processes, real refactors, and the kind of decision-making that short tutorials skip.
By the end of the series, you won’t just know more Laravel syntax — you’ll understand how to build, reason about, and maintain a Laravel application.
