Day 1! I’ve managed to squeeze in 1 hour of development time this evening, in which I’ve completed the following:
- Setup the Lumen framework
- Configure Vagrant with Ubuntu and nginx
- Write and import the first set of database migrations
- I’ve now set up a public Github repository to track the project
Fairly productive hour; looking forward to working on seeding the database and hopefully starting on the UI in the next couple of days. I’m eager to try out Browsersync, since seeing a cool demo of it yesterday.
Today’s Observations
- It took me a while to get used to the small differences between Lumen
and Laravel. Mainly the lack of some
artisan commands that I’ve
grown used to (such as
key:generateandtinker), and also that certain aspects of the framework are disabled by default, including DotEnv, and have to be enabled manually inbootsrap/app.php - In my Googling today, a typo lead me to a genuine
Googlewhack!
- Stats for today: 5 commits, time spent 1h 5m 10s
