Build real-world web apps with Laravel — no framework experience needed.

Learn Laravel the practical way — from PHP fundamentals to production patterns

New to Laravel? This book starts at the foundation (modern PHP 8 syntax) and guides you in small, confident steps through the Laravel toolkit: MVC, routing, controllers, Blade components, Eloquent models, migrations & seeders, validation, file uploads, authentication & authorization, REST APIs, testing, and deployment.

You'll learn by reading, typing, and shipping — no guesswork. Just Composer, a free editor, and a local environment (Laravel Sail or your preferred stack).

You'll practice how to:

• Write modern PHP: types, functions, classes, namespaces, Composer & autoloading.
• Navigate Laravel's MVC: routes, controllers, views (Blade), service container.
• Model data with Eloquent: relationships, scopes, accessors/mutators.
• Manage databases: migrations, seeders, factories & test data.
• Validate requests, handle file uploads & storage.
• Add authentication (Laravel Breeze) and role-based authorization (policies & gates).
• Build RESTful APIs with resources/transformers and token auth (Sanctum).
• Queue jobs, send notifications & emails, cache for speed.
• Write feature/unit tests and set up CI basics.
• Deploy to production with environment configs and a simple checklist.

Every chapter ends with checklists, short exercises, and mini-projects to lock in the concepts.
