I'm still a weekend-programmer-wannabe trying to learn the basics of MVC so excuse my silly question.
I have some client libraries that I'm trying to integrate into Laravel (the Amazon MWS libraries to be exact https://www.developer.amazonservices.com/phpclients). As far as I can tell, this client library is already built for MVC (it has 'models' and clients lol so that's what I'm going by.
My suspicion is that I can just install these libraries via composer like through one of these packages https://packagist.org/packages/mcs/amazon-mws.
My questions:
If I'm integrating a client library, would you almost always do this via composer? Would it only be very rarely that you integrate these manually?
If installing a client library via composer, do I just search on packagist for someone who has created a repository for this library? My initial thought was that I would want the Developer to have this hosted on packagist, not somebody random (like it appears to be for the MWS package).
I know I'm asking a lot of really basic questions and I've probably made some silly assumptions so excuse my ignorance. MVC is still daunting for me.

I’ve downloaded the free version of Varbox wanting to start a new project using this platform that seems to be Laravel based, but it seems that after install I don't see the specific Laravel homepage, as I'd expect from a Laravel project.
I’ve setup a git repository with the Varbox source code, but it doesn’t seem to be a working Laravel project (eg. it doesn’t have an .env file, php artisan is not accessible).
You shouldn't attempt to use Varbox as a monolithic application.
Varbox has been designed as a Composer package which you'll have to locally require in your own Laravel projects, so that means you'll need to already have a working Laravel projects on top of which to install Varbox.

Please follow the documentation (I suggest installing it in the automatic way, as it's less time consuming): https://varbox.io/docs/1.x/installation

stackoverflow community. I'm new here and I just started learning how to code in ruby with the goal of making a twitter widget maker. Do I need to learn any other languages to make it work?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Ghilia
Do you know any html, css, or javascript? These are essential in creating just about any custom web content.
Also, have you considered following along on some youtube tutorials?
Here are some that really helped me out in using different rails gems when I was starting out:

And finally, Michael Hartl's tutorial :
https://www.railstutorial.org/book
Hartl actually builds a twitter app. Incredible tutorial but it can take months. He uses very little external libraries. This is considered one of the best web application tutorials ever made.
Good luck!

Appreciate some guidance - I'm trying to learn how to build HTML5 web-apps with an example:a simple Craigslist-like app that allows people to post as well as view items for sale using Web as well as mobile. Here's the tool-set I have in mind.
GUI: Sencha Touch
Server-side code: Java (should I be using Ruby or Python?)
Database: MySQL
Hosting: AWS
Other: PhoneGap to use camera function for image/video upload
Do you have any comments or suggestions on the above tool-set?
Don't use AWS directly unless you are very familiar with it. Try heroku. You can deploy java, python, ruby or pretty much anything with a simple git push. You don't have to worry about setting up servers and a basic account is free. You will wanting to be using Postgresql rather than MySQL with heroku as that is their standard database.
Ruby Rails can be a bit heavy upfront. Maybe look at Sinatra which has a slightly less steep learning curve.

I am thinking of writing customized torrent client in ruby. I found the following libraries (which are pretty old as Matt pointed out bellow). However i would like to hear about any library that i might have missed and i would love to hear what the community have to say about the following libraries. As in pros and cons...
RubyTorrent
libtorrent-ruby
Please note that i am hoping to modify some inner workings of the library to suit my needs. Hence a pure ruby library would be ideal.
Note: I searched stackoverflow for this question (or anything similar). The only questions that came up were asked long ago and didn't have any decent answers. Hence this new question.
Ruby Torrent Library
Thanks for your time!
After not finding any good solution to connect my ruby code to a BitTorrent protocol I have implemented a Ruby wrapper for the Transmission RPC API:
http://rubygems.org/gems/transmission_api
It is a very simple version that works for my needs.
Of course it has a very big dependency of a Transmission client running for it, but I think it is a dependency you want to have due it is a very stable and very updated bittorrent client.
I recommend to set up a headless transmission daemon
You have a few alternatives, rolling your own with FFI and any c/c++/java torrent library, or use a well known torrent daemon (ie: transmission, utorrent, etc) and talk to it via its rpc interface.

My next project will be a lightweight PHP alternative to Trac, since Trac is often confusing to install and is often a little too big or feature-rich for smaller project.
Features planned so far:
Wiki
Bug tracker
Forum(s)
Static pages (easily edited of course)
Markdown support
No code repo hosting (I consider this a feature since most people would prefer to use a 3rd party such as GitHub for the actual code hosting)
My question: if you were to use a self-hosted app for making a website about one of your open source projects, what would you want? Is there anything on that list that's missing? Would you absolutely require the ability to actually host the code repo on the site itself, or would you be ok hosting the code elsewhere (Google Code, GitHub, BitBucket), and using the site only to upload major versions?
Summary: if you were to use a self-hosted app to provide info and support for an open source project of yours, what would you want it to be like?
Redmine is my current favorite, I usually install it via BitNami
