Should I learn laravel4?

Question

Laravel

Not so long ago I started to study laravel4, wrote a couple of easy sites to deal with its structure, routing, working with the database, template engine, but, as you understand, it is still far from being fully mastered. The essence of the question is this, am I doing it right by studying the 4th version of laravel, and not the 5th, or should I immediately learn the 5th?

Answer 1

I had the same question, but I solved it this way for myself - old projects written on 4m - only support (In any case, you will delve into and understand, but not all the forces there)
I write all new projects on 5m. I study it along the way.
*From the point of view of project management, it would be better for me to transfer everything from 4k to 5k, but I don’t have time for this and no one will pay me for it, so I made this choice :)
I advise you, if it’s not a problem to transfer everything to 5k - transfer and master the 5th, I liked it more, and not so difficult, especially after I worked with 4.

Answer 2

New projects start on the 5th version, study it, old projects are either only support, or (if there is time) rewrite to the 5th version, it is still important to keep up with the times.
