Overview
This course explains how a modern framework (e.g. Laravel) is used to quickly get from (a business) idea to implementation (proof-of-concept, MVP). This first part focuses on understanding the core concepts behind modern frameworks and the workflow development. At the end, students will have a working application (based on their own idea) on a local development server.
