Laravel 5 Basics (1) - Getting Started with Laravel and New Projects

This series of articles is the notes of the introductory video series 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.

What is Laravl
