As you've probably heard, Craft 6 is moving to Laravel as the underlying framework. There's still a lot to learn, but I wanted to share what you need to know right now in a new video.
Here's what I cover:
The architectural shift and what it means for your work
Why this is actually good news (despite the big change)
The Yii2 compatibility adapter that keeps plugins working
I'm working on more in-depth videos, too. But here's the reality: if you only have a free CraftQuest account, you won't have access to any of it. Free accounts are wonderful for exploring CraftQuest, but I have a lot more helpful content waiting for you.
Option 1: Wait until you need to upgrade a production site next year, and then scramble to learn Laravel fundamentals while under client deadlines.
Option 2: Invest 6-12 months learning at your own pace, experiment with alpha/beta releases, and be positioned as an expert when companies start hiring for Craft 6 projects.
The early movers always win in framework transitions. They are poised and ready to be the experts on day one.
