Read Laravel Up Running A Framework for Building Modern PHP Apps Matt Stauffer 9781492041214 Books

Product details

Matt's writing style is approachable for those new to Laravel who need an introduction to the popular PHP framework. It's also great for programmers that have used Laravel for years and want a reference guide or to go more in depth on a specific topic.

I read the first version a couple of years ago when I was new to using Laravel and this updated and expanded version is still helpful for me now. Chapter 14 on Testing is worth the price of the book by itself. I personally don't use Queues and Events very often in my applications and found chapter 16 a great explanation for me to understand how to best implement them into my projects. One of the great things about Laravel is that it has solid documentation online, but I found this book even more helpful to better grasp certain concepts due to the longer format and examples Matt uses. The blocks of code also show up well in .

I highly recommend if you're interested in Laravel.
