Tutorial: Creating a Blog in Laravel from scratch – part 1 – Overview

Hello there, fellow Laravelians!

Over the next few days I will be writing up a tutorial about making a simple blog using Laravel PHP framework, if you want to be subscribed and not miss out on the Laravel tutorials, subscribe to my Udemy course where I teach about Laravel and design process when making Web Applications in Laravel, subscribe here: http://www.udemy.com/develop-web-apps-with-laravel-php-framework/

The Blog that we will be creating has the following features :

• twitter bootstrap layout implemented by bootstrapper bundle
• user log in and authentification
• display all posts in paginated view
• create new posts
• delete posts

Building with Laravel is very easy. When you know the basics, it will take only 10-15 minutes to build a blog like this from scratch!

Here is a preview of the live blog deployed on pagodabox :
