How to find a mentor to learn Laravel?

Question

Distance learning

I want to learn Laravel 5. It
is very long and dreary myself :)
I would like to find a person who would give a direction, suggest what to pay attention to and correct it.
Courses do not work, I live in the province.
Read manuals and watch videos, there is not enough base - I can stupidly repeat and do some little thing myself.
But there is no deep understanding - accordingly, when I need to do something different from the example, I fall into a stupor :)
I myself have been learning PHP, HTML for some time ....
There are projects ready for cms (I can make a simple module or plugin) and pure PHP
I want more . If, for example, someone helped for another hour a day (explained, showed, gave a task what needs to be sorted out) - I would be grateful $! :)

Answer 1

The simplest thing is to set a task and solve it on FrameworkName. If there is not enough imagination for the task, we are looking for freelance exchanges. The task should not be too difficult, but it should be a full-fledged site.

Answer 2

If for money - ready for an hour a day. :D

Answer 3

Hire an adequate midwife on freelance. Especially since you can try many different people and choose the one who explains better than others.
But if you go through 10-20 people and no one likes you, maybe you just don't try?

Answer 4

Without a specific task, learning is not cool. Set a task, write a simple bulletin board, a list of organizations for the city, a blog, a parser / poster of social networks ... In general, first come up with a task that is not super difficult, and systematically solve it using video courses (laracasts). For specific questions, you can go to the chat . Well, you can write in a personal, maybe I can help in some way

Answer 5

winbackgo just noticed about the freelance exchange for "non-dreamers". =)
I do it myself, I put interesting tasks in a separate file. Some of them also have TK ready, for example, it is necessary to make an admin panel, it is described what and how should be inside, and so on. Try to implement it in Laravel. Plus, make a project repository on github or bitbucket, learn how to work with git.

Answer 6

Buy yourself a subscription to laracasts . This is a storehouse of information, and it will be useful for general development.
