But professionals don't love Backpack just because it's feature-packed. They also love it because it's **ridiculously easy to override a functionality**. Generally, you just need to create a function (or blade file) with the right name. Yes, it can be _that_ easy.

Start with the ["Getting Started" series](https://backpackforlaravel.com/docs/4.0/introduction) in our docs. We try to nudge you towards creating a Backpack acccount, but you don't _need_ one, if you're just trying it out.

Alternatively, if you don't have 20 minutes right now, subscribe to our [drip email tutorial](https://backpackforlaravel.com/getting-started-emails). You'll receive one email per day, for 5 days, 5 minutes each. By the end, you'll be familiar with how Backpack works, and be able to create admin panels for your Laravel apps.

> If you're using Backpack in production, please **[subscribe to the Backpack Newsletter](http://backpackforlaravel.com/newsletter)** so you can find out about any security updates, breaking changes or major features. We never _ever_ share your email with anyone & we try to send as few emails as possible (1-4 emails per year). We hate unsolicited email too. But... you know... you're building an admin panel, security _should_ be something you're up-to-date with.

Start with the ["Introduction" page in our docs](https://backpackforlaravel.com/docs/5.x/introduction) in our docs. It will explain what you can do with Backpack, and let you choose a guide, depending on how you like to learn:

Starting with v5, Backpack has become open-core. Its features have been separated into two packages:
106
+
-**Backpack CRUD is licensed under the [MIT License](LICENSE.md)** (open-source free software); it is perfect if you're building a simple admin panel - it's packed with features! it's also perfect if you're building an open-source project, the permissive license allows you to do whatever you want;
107
+
-**Backpack PRO is licensed under our [EULA](https://backpackforlaravel.com/eula)**; it is a closed-source, paid add-on; [PRO](https://backpackforlaravel.com/products/pro) will be useful when your admin panel needs grow, because it adds adds A LOT of features for complex use cases (see our [FREE vs PRO comparison](https://backpackforlaravel.com/docs/5.x/features-free-vs-paid));
108
+
109

[Our documentation](https://backpackforlaravel.com/docs) covers both CRUD and PRO, with all the PRO features clearly labeled <spanclass="badge badge-pill badge-info">PRO</span>.

## Versioning
113
+
114
+
Starting with Backpack v5, all our packages follow [semantic versioning](https://semver.org/). Here's what `major.minor.patch` (eg. `5.0.1`) means for us:
115
+
-`major` - breaking changes, major new features, complete rewrites; released **once a year**, in February; it adds features that were previously impossible and upgrades our dependencies; upgrading is done by following our clear and detailed upgrade guides;
116
+
-`minor` - new features, released in backwards-compatible ways; **every few months**; update takes seconds;
When we release a new Backpack\CRUD version, all paid addons receive support for it the same day.

When you buy a premium Backpack addon, you get access to not only _updates_, but also _upgrades_ (for 12mo), that means that... **any time you buy a Backpack addon, it is very likely that you're not only buying the _current_ version** (`v5` at the moment), **but also the upgrade to the _next version_** (`v6` for example).

We've spend more than 10.000 hours creating, polishing and maintaining administration panels on Laravel. We've developed e-Commerce, e-Learning, ERPs, social networks, payment gateways and much more. We've worked on admin panels _so much_, that we've created one of the most popular packages for Laravel - just from making public what was repetitive in our projects.
