Great article Kars. I had that dilemma some months ago, I have some experience with Laravel and I wanted to take a front-end framework to include in my stack, but unfortunately I didn't know about inertia at that time. Could you recommend any resource to learn Inertia? Where did you go first?

Thanks, Raul

Hey Raul, thanks for the feedback!

Well, how I started was by going through the Inertia.js demo ([github.com/inertiajs/pingcrm](https://github.com/inertiajs/pingcrm)) and looking at their code and going from there.

I also started to play around with Laravel Jetstream ([jetstream.laravel.com/2.x/introduction.html](https://jetstream.laravel.com/2.x/introduction.html)) and then of course I went with the Inertia.js version.

Looking at those two codebases I got a bit clear picture of how things are handled. So I went from there. With some trial and error I had a MVP of my SaaS application.

During all this my holy grail was the Laravel documentation ([laravel.com/docs/8.x](https://laravel.com/docs/8.x))!

Currently I'm thinking of creating some Inertia.js courses / videos. So maybe I will make one about how to get started with it! :)

Hope this helps you out a bit
