This series of articles is the notes of the introductory series of videos in laracasts.com. I have made some modifications. You can refer to this series of articles to learn Laravel 5. The author of the original video is Jeffrey Way, thank you. The system I use is a Mac system, but regardless of Mac or Windows users, it is recommended to use a virtual machine to install Linux (the server version is enough), and then develop using a shared folder. All command line commands should be executed in the virtual machine and file modifications should be done in the host machine. It is recommended to use phpstorm.
