Laravel + Vue 3 + Inertia: From Zero to Production SPA (Udemy.com)
From Zero to Launch: Build Advanced SPAs with Vue, Inertia, Laravel & Tailwind and Ship a Portfolio Project
Created by: Piotr Jura
Last updated August 2025
Our take
Based on the ratings of 2,488 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in August 2025. No course pays to be reviewed.
A project course, not a theory course. Over 19.5 hours and 182 lectures, Piotr Jura builds one listings app on the VILT stack: Laravel on the back, Vue 3 with the Composition API on the front, Inertia gluing them together so there is no separate REST API, and Tailwind for styling. The syllabus covers auth, database relations, pagination, file uploads, offers, notifications and email verification. It is labelled all levels, but reviewers are clear that it suits people who already know some PHP and JavaScript and want to see how the pieces fit together.
Students praise the clear, easy-to-follow English and the step-by-step pace, and one credits the project resources on GitHub. The 4.6 rating across roughly 2,500 reviews holds up, with about nine in ten giving four or five stars. The complaints cluster around age. The course dates from 2019 and, although it was refreshed in August 2025, reviewers still hit code that does not match the current Laravel and Inertia releases and have to fix errors themselves. Setup gets called painful, one early video has low audio, there are no exercises, and one three-star review says questions went unanswered for a long time.
Against the Laravel courses it sits beside, this is the only one that treats Vue and Inertia as first-class, so pick it if a single-page app is the goal rather than a general PHP course or an eCommerce build. Expect to consult the docs when a version mismatch bites, and skip it if you want a course that never needs patching. For a working PHP developer who wants the modern Laravel front end, it is still the sensible choice.
Pros
- One real app that grows section by section: auth, relations, pagination, uploads, offers, notifications, email
- Reviewers repeatedly praise the instructor's clear English and simple explanations of hard topics
- Source code on GitHub plus separate Windows and Mac setup sections and a JavaScript crash course appendix
- Inertia removes the separate API layer, which one reviewer says made SPAs far simpler than an old Ajax setup
Cons
- Code drifts from current Laravel and Inertia releases; reviewers report fixing version errors themselves
- No exercises, quizzes or assignments, so it is watch-and-code-along only
- One reviewer waited a long time for any answer in the Q&A, including private messages
Author has an incredible simple way to explain from beginning to more complex things as well as an understandable English.
Marked all levels, but the requirements list basic PHP and JavaScript, and reviewers say it is not for absolute beginners.

Course Description
Build a modern full-stack SPA with Laravel, Vue 3, Inertia.js & Tailwind (VILT stack)
Skip the theory-overload. In this course, we’ll actually build a real, production-ready Single Page Application from scratch — backend to frontend — using Laravel, Vue 3, Inertia.js, and Tailwind CSS. You’ll learn by doing, with practical, hands-on coding at every step.
You’ll learn by doing:
Set up a fresh Laravel + Vue + Inertia project and get it running locally (Mac or Windows)

Connect Laravel & Vue with Inertia.js — no separate API layer, no boilerplate REST/GraphQL headaches
Style fast with Tailwind CSS — fully responsive layouts without wrestling CSS files
Implement auth (login, registration, permissions) the Laravel way
Work with databases: migrations, Eloquent ORM, relationships, seeding
Add real-world features: routing, middleware, email sending, and form handling
Manage state and dynamic UI in Vue for a smooth SPA experience
Also covered:
Sensible project structure for full-stack apps that scales with new features
Performance tips & optimization techniques for faster load times and smoother UX
Debugging workflows that actually help you fix issues faster and with less frustration

The course was amazing overall. It covers almost all the necessary topics, and the instructor explains them very smoothly. The section order was well-structured, and I really enjoyed it. It could have been even better if a few additional topics were included, such as geolocation for multilingual web applications, RTL + LTR frontend design, events/listeners (with more practical examples), and jobs/queues. I recommend this course 100%.
By Alex Sanders on 5/22/2025
The course is good in its own right; the author covers many topics, and it is clear that he understands them. The author's English deserves a separate plus; it is readable and understandable, which simplifies the comprehension of the material. However, the course is outdated; the author's code does not match the modern version of Laravel, and many errors have to be resolved independently or with the help of third-party users. Although the author added material at the beginning of the course on how to resolve most conflicts (Chapter 4), by the end of the course, or before your first mistake, you may forget about this file. It would be more logical to split it into parts and insert them into the relevant sections.

The course was good, but it could be better if it were updated. The changes with Laravel 11 and the course content cause a lot of confusion and slow down the learning process. Another recommendation I have is about the teaching method—showing what not to do first and then correcting it creates a lot of confusion for me. I took this course to learn how to do things professionally, but learning through mistakes doesn’t help. I’d prefer to learn the best practices from the start. Overall, I’m satisfied with the course and what I learned.

Hello Piotr I'm very happy with the new update with Laravel 9, Vue 3, and Inertia Tutorial. It was explained in great detail on their part, every chapter. I went through the whole tutorial step by step from start to finish. I can also recommend everyone if they really want to learn something. Because each section is dependent on the previous section. chapters 16 and 17 was very interesting. Send notification and email. chapter 10: Database Relations, was very well explained. sorry for my english writing. But I understood your well-explained tutorial very well. I can wholeheartedly recommend this tutorial to everyone Thank you very much for this course and keep it up. Mustafa Dündar Celebi

So far this course is very good as it teaches a lot of information and the coach could explain the logic slowly and clearly. The coach also spends time explaining the basic theory before using it and this makes it clear for us before using the functions. If he could reply to our message and answer our question promptly like how other courses do, it will be better. However, the coach has tried his best and created a community for sharing.

Good course. I like the way how Piotr explains the material and the way the did the courses in short videos. Missing fixing the availability dates and authentication needs improvements like you cannot log in is you are already logged in or you cannot book something is you are not login.

I ran into a problem, Google all day and I couldn't find a solution. I ended up joined the discord group for this course and asked my question, Thanks to piotrjura(lecturer for this course), he is quickly responded my questions, explain to me the reason and give the solution. Another point is that the course is up-to-date, I followed this course by using the latest version Laravel 7, and it works perfectly. I must recommend this course to anyone who interested in laravel with vueJS. This course will never let you down.

The course is awesome the instructor is fantastic with a good sense of humor and is very responsive. His teaching style is easy to follow. He takes time to explain important concepts or in some case will say the concept is really too difficult for the course but we where we could educate ourselves on it. He took input from many students to include security. He has added chapter I would recommend this course to all new students coming to Laravel or even some with experience. overall I would recommend Course and I would certainly recommend the instructor. He added chapter 12 a whole section on security using laravel sanctum. So nice of him to do that. Finally found time to finish the course. I will probably sign up for his other course on intermediate Laravel as well.
By Peter watson on 1/9/2020
A great course, the instructor knows his stuff. He actually codes as he goes, and therefore you even see mistakes, and how he fixes them. That annoyed me at first, but I grew to like seeing the process. His accent is quirky and requires a bit extra concentration to understand. It took quite a while to get through the course, and quite a lot of determination, but I think it was well worth it
By Mac McCarthy on 12/3/2019
Having recently finished the "Master Laravel PHP in 2019" course by Piotr Jura, I thought I would step up to his latest course, the next level: "How to build a Single Page Application with Laravel (6+) PHP Framework and Vue.js." This new course was great as well as challenging and it has meet all my expectations! Piotr Jura is a very capable instructor, but more importantly he is a great software developer and architect.
