Hello everyone, first of all I apologize if there are any spelling mistakes, as my English is very bad.

I would like to start by saying that I have been working as a full-time web developer for 2 years, working with PHP Vanilla, jQuery, DataTable, Bootstrap and MySQL (because my boss demands it). I have realized that the entire project has been full of bad practices, insecure queries, and I feel like I’m working in the 2000s.

I would like to get into a framework without feeling overwhelmed. I once tried to do it with Laravel but I have felt very overwhelmed, since it uses OOP and in the projects I have worked on everything is “functional programming.”

How did you take on the challenge of learning a framework?
