Introduction to Laravel

What is Laravel and why should I learn Laravel?
Laravel is a framework for PHP programming language.
Think of a framework as a ordered structure within a programming language giving you the standard solutions to a typical problems.Using a framework reduces the burden of doing same thing again and again and stops you from re-inventing the wheel again and again.
Laravel framework makes easy handling of frequently used processes such as:-
  • User Registration
  • Authentication
  • Session Handling
  • Database Migration
  • Form Validation etc
Coming back to framework there are a lot of PHP framework that already exists and neither a single of them is bad,but it depends on your utility.Few frameworks are
  • CakePHP
  • CodeIgnitor
  • ZendFramework etc
The best way to know which one is better for a particular type of application is by learning all of them.So that strength and weakness of each framework is discovered.

Why Laravel?
  • Easy to learn
  • Excellent Documentation
  • Active community and forum support
But I will definitely suggest you to learn all the framework and work like a PRO :) 

What do you need to start learning Laravel?
Basic understanding of PHP language.
