Is it possible to learn a framework like Laravel purely from the documentation?

Question

Laravel

Here is a question.
when learning the basics of PHP, there was not enough clean manual to study, additional courses and books were needed.
Is the situation the same with frameworks or can documentation be dispensed with?
Laravel documentation is considered one of the best

Answer 1

I have never been able to learn anything theoretically. Better so, read the documentation fluently in order to know what is there at all, come up with a task for yourself, for example, make a catalog site with an admin panel. And then google all the questions that arise. Thus, not only knowledge will come, but also understanding.

Answer 2

Weird question. How do we know if you can or not? Try. If the documentation is not enough, then there are courses with books.

Answer 3

Knowledge is always best obtained from different sources. It is quite possible to get by with reading the documentation and personal experience of using Laravel, but this is not the most effective way. Explore other projects, watch laracasts and the like to learn about best practices and useful ways to use framework components.

Answer 4

Yes, it will help, first you read all the sections from cover to cover, it is not necessary to remember, it is enough to understand the general terminology and where everything is located and how it works. Next, you are already making your first application, exactly according to the tutorial, until it starts. In early versions of the framework, there was an excellent manual that helped me quickly navigate:
https://laravel.com/docs/5.1/quickstart
https://laravel.ru/docs/v5/quickstart
