Nettuts has some good Laravel tutorials (e.g. http://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/building-web-applications-from-scratch-with-laravel--net-25517).

I'd recommend coming up with something small you want to do and just dig in. That's what usually works best for me. Good luck!

Thanks!

the one and only good site/book for beginners http://daylerees.com/codebright

+1 to Dayle Rees' book. Before I read that book I had tried and given up on other MVC frameworks because it never clicked. He's got a great way of explaining everything.

Thanks, guys. Code Bright looks great. I'll definitely dig in

And be sure to keep going back and checking additions to codebright. It's keeps getting better.
