I am looking at getting into laravel, it looks like an awesome framework,but it seems to be missing one vital piece of it's documentation.. A "Getting started" tutorial.

A simple blog tutorial or similar or even an open source application built on laravel.
Does anyone have links to some good tutorials or resources for laravel?

I have come across [this nettuts tutorial](http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/php/building-web-applications-from-scratch-with-laravel/), but it only skims over things very briefly. I was hoping there would be a tutorial that went more in depth.

There is of course the [official documentation](http://laravel.com/docs) but that again is more an overview of **what** you can use, it doesn't really tell you **how** to use them.
