What sets Laravel apart from other PHP web frameworks? Speed and simplicity, for starters. This rapid application development framework and its vast ecosystem of tools let you quickly build new sites and applications with clean, readable code. With this practical guide, Matt Stauffer—a leading teacher and developer in the Laravel community—provides the definitive introduction to one of today’s most popular web frameworks.

Blade, Laravel’s powerful, custom templating tool
Tools for gathering, validating, normalizing, and filtering user-provided data
Laravel’s Eloquent ORM for working with the application’s databases
The Illuminate request object, and its role in the application lifecycle
