What is Laravel ?

Laravel is a PHP framework which have build with elegant and easy syntaxes. Laravel attempts to take the pain out of development by easing common tasks used in most web projects. It is mostly used in back-end developing. But on the other hand, web developers can use Laravel for front-end developing too. But I mostly recommend the back-end developing. If you are going to work with this framework, You need a small bit of server-side programming knowledge in PHP. I strongly recommend you to learn the following concepts in PHP before entering the artisan world.

  • File inclusions
  • Repetition and selection methods
  • Functions
  • Object-oriented programming

These are the main concepts that you need to learn, at least a bit before entering the artisan world. Among those, Object-oriented programming is a major, cause it is the main key of Laravel. The whole Laravel is based on objects.

A significant other advantage of using Laravel is its ecosystem. Laravel implements a large number of various plugins to easily convert your idea into a final product. Using these plugins Laravel assists you at the developer tasks.

Laravel Ecosystem

By the way, whether you’re a solo developer or a team, getting started is not hard at all. Laravel community is here to support you 24×7.

In the next blog, Let’s see how to install and configure the Laravel for development purposes. Until then have a pleasant day!

Welcome to the world of web artisans!
