Symfony User Group CGN meets Laravel Cologne

The first Laravel Cologne Meetup will be at SensioLabs, the makers of Symfony2! This makes it especially great, because Laravel uses several Symfony2 components, such as “symfony/routing” or “symfony/http-foundation”.

Interested in Live Coding? Make sure to have these things on your computer:

PHP >= 5.5.9

OpenSSL PHP Extension

PDO PHP Extension

Mbstring PHP Extension

Tokenizer PHP Extension

( http://laravel.com/docs/5.1/installation )

… or alternatively the Vagrant-based Laravel Homestead virtual machine ( http://laravel.com/docs/5.1/homestead , do this at home, since it’s nearly a gigabyte big! But you only need one for all your future Laravel apps).

Timeline

18:30: Doors open and Get-to-Know

19:00: Laravel from Scratch + Ecosystem

We will go through building a simple web app using the new Laravel 5.1 (long-term support version). We will get to check out the architecture of a Laravel app and go through Routing, MVC, Template Engine and use some basic functionality. I will also show a small insight into the growing Laravel ecosystem.
