Laravel 5 Interview Questions

This is a compiled list of Laravel interview questions. If Laravel is an engineer's PHP framework of choice, they definitely have potential to be a good candidate, but a lot of new PHP engineers have been into Laravel too. The framework itself is very welcoming to newcomers, which makes it easy for beginners to feel that they know more than they really do.

General Questions

1. How long have you been using Laravel?

This question can help decide what level of questions to ask.

Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan

Custom recipe to get OS X 10.11 El Capitan running from scratch, setup applications and developer environment. This is very similar (and currently mostly the same) as my 10.10 Yosemite setup recipe (as found on this gist https://gist.github.com/kevinelliott/0726211d17020a6abc1f). Note that I expect this to change significantly as I install El Capitan several times.

I use this gist to keep track of the important software and steps required to have a functioning system after a semi-annual fresh install. On average, I reinstall each computer from scratch every 6 months, and I do not perform upgrades between distros.

This keeps the system performing at top speeds, clean of trojans, spyware, and ensures that I maintain good organizational practices for my content and backups. I highly recommend this.

You are encouraged to fork this and modify it to your heart's content to match your own needs.

Add Git Branch Name to Terminal Prompt (Linux/Mac)

Open ~/.bash_profile in your favorite editor and add the following content to the bottom.

# Git branch in prompt.

parse_git_branch() {

Check for MySQL processes with: ps -ax | grep mysql
