Curriculum
Section 1: Start Here - Introduction
Lecture 1 Introduction, Course Goals and Background Theory on the Need for VM's. Preview 07:51
Our goal is to install a fully integrated development environment based on the Laravel application framework and Homestead VM. An environment that works seamlessly, assisting you in an advanced development workflow so that you can focus on the development task at hand.

Lecture 2 Required software. Text
The list of software that is required to complete this course.

Section 2: Installing Windows 10
Lecture 3 Understanding what we are going to do. Preview 01:39
The benefits of running a "sandboxed" environment that does not impact on production environments are well known and understood. Since we are going to be installing a fully integrated Laravel 5.1 development ecosystem from the ground up it's beneficial for you to be running this environment outside of your normal machine / operating system environment. In this section you will learn how to install a full-blown Windows 10 Operating System onto an external USB hard drive - something that is not normally possible using the traditional installer. Once completed you will have an environment that you can work within with the confidence that nothing we do along the way is going to impact your current core environment, until such time as you are happy to install & configure the various components by yourself.

Lecture 4 How to prepare the external USB drive for Windows 10. 03:07
Now it's time to learn how to prepare an external USB hard drive in preparation for installing the Windows 10 OS onto the external drive.

Lecture 5 Moving the Win 10 image & boot files to the drive and booting into Windows 10. 10:04
Now that the external USB drive is prepared and ready we can proceed to physically move the Window 10 Operating System and boot image files across in order to start and complete the Windows 10 installation process.

Section 3: Installing Git
Lecture 6 Installing Git and completing the basic configuration tasks. 05:57
By the end of this lesson we will have Git installed and the basic configuration tasks completed.

Section 4: Virtualbox
Lecture 7 Understanding Virtualbox 07:31
Time to install Oracle's VM provider - Virtualbox - and gain an understanding what Virtualbox does and what it can offer us.

Section 5: Vagrant
Lecture 8 Installing and exploring Vagrant 10:37
Now that we understand the core functionality Virtualbox provides we can delve into Vagrant. In this lesson we'll dig into exactly why it's needed and by the time we are done we will Vagrant installed and ready to accept our Laravel Homestead image.

Section 6: Laravel Homestead
Lecture 9 Introduction to Homestead 09:03
Laravel Homestead is an official, pre-packaged Vagrant "box" / VM image that provides an amazing set of pre-configured development toolsets.

Lecture 10 Configuring Homestead within Windows 10 11:17
In this lesson we'll fire up Homestead and deal with any startup / configuration issues.

Lecture 11 Tweaking the Vagrant / Homestead setup 16:55
In this lesson we'll sprinkle some sugar on top of what we've just done to make our environment that extra little bit cleaner and easier to use.

Now that we have our environment prepared we can install the actual Laravel Application Framework itself.

Section 8: PHPStorm
Lecture 13 PHPStorm 18:47
PHPStorm is an amazing code editor and integrated debugging environment. However, getting the maximum benefit out of PHPStorm within the Laravel context requires a little configuration. In this lesson we are going install PHPStorm and integrate it tightly into our Laravel project so that by the time we are done we have Laravel specific code completetion enabled and proper in-IDE integrated debugging operational.

Section 9: Using Git
Lecture 14 Using Git to protect the project's source code 11:34
We have our code editor in place which means that we now need to understand the basics of using Git to protect the codebase. In this lesson we'll look at setting up the actual repository itself, the implications of the .gitignore file and how to add & commit files to Git.

Section 10: Composer
Lecture 15 Composer 11:54
Composer is an application-level package manager for the PHP programming language that provides a standard format for managing dependencies of PHP software and required libraries. In this lesson we'll use a live example to see how we can leverage the power of the open-source community to quickly add deep and rich functionality to our applications.

Section 11: Bower & Laravel Elixir
Lecture 16 Bower & Laravel Elixir - part one 15:10
Bower is a package manager for web / front-end GUI assets, fetching and installing packages for use in our applications. Laravel Elixir provides an API for defining Gulp asset compilation tasks for your Laravel application. In this 3 part lesson we'll delve into configuring and using both Bower & Laravel Elixir, fixing the issues we encounter along the way.
