  1. Covers almost anything you need to become a successful laravel developer
    I have a PhD in computer science and I’m a software developer with more than 15 of experience.PHP is my preferred programming language, and Laravel is the top PHP framework. I developed many projects with the use of the Laravel framework. But I never learnt Laravel with the use of a book. I used tutorials and the official website. I wish I had known this book before. That way, I would have become a better Laravel programmer in less time.This book is a great introduction for both novice and advanced Laravel programmers.PRO:- This is an excellent introduction about the power and the tools that Laravel provides you.- It teaches you about eloquent, artisan, laravel mix, blade, authentication, rest apis, and testing, among others.- Examples are simple and very well explained.- The concepts are introduced properly.CONS:- The book uses Laravel 5.8 (for all the examples and concepts), when I read it, Laravel was in version 7. Nowadays, Laravel is in version 8. In my opinion, it is not very important. Even, if this book is designed with Laravel 5.8 most of the examples will work with minimum changes that you can easily find on Google. For me, the important part are the concepts and the tools that this book teaches you. Just a quick example, I didn’t know about how Laravel supports fakers and dependency injection. Now that I know about these concepts, I try to apply them in my projects, no matter if it is Laravel 5 or 8 (changes are very simple).This book is 100% recommended.

  2. Excellent Introduction & Helpful for Laravel Pros
    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 Kindle.I highly recommend if you’re interested in Laravel.

  3. It’s Complete
    Problem is with almost all current web hosst, they use underlying Javascript usually Yui which is Yahoo and outdated to protect their servers from being overrun by the thousands of bots that will crawl your site and manipulate your code. Last updated PHP in 2014 and is unsupported, so it ends up being enclosed in Yui, decompiled in the wrong format because no one is updating it and your latest version PHP is forced back in time 6 years to what they can interpret to be unless you have your own server or pay for that kind of space.

  4. Great Laracasts Companion
    I was hesitant to get this, as reading through the reviews people said – just read the docs. This book was definitely worth the purchase for someone that has used Laracasts and did a little Laravel already but is still kinda at the stage where they need to look things up often, or haven’t used a lot of what Laravel has to offer. Glad I grabbed it.

  5. As title of the book says, it gets you up and running !
    This is a must read for anyone entering laravel world. The detailed explanation provided by the author help you understand the concepts very quickly.Reading the book as someone with enough experience in laravel, I learnt quite a few new tricks myself.Really appreciate all the hard work done by Matt👍

  6. For anyone using Laravel
    I loved the way that Matt takes the reader on a wonderful journey of learning. It’s simple, to the point, and extremely informative. A must have for anyone coding in Laravel.

  7. Great St(a)uff(er)
    Thanks Matt for this great book. He writes about stuff you ought to know, and not the things that are available on one search online. Recommended.

  8. Good for all levels
    This book is a good starting point for beginners and covers a lot of materials that experience developers benefits from it.

  9. Don’t fear the book is outdated. As the author says, it focus on passing the concepts behind the Laravel framework rather than trying to be a substitute for the technical documentation. I find it very clear and a good basis to understand the important ideas of the framework and how to use it well.

  10. Tem me ajudado muito a amadurecer o conhecimento do framework e melhorar a solução que estamos desenvolvendo.

  11. A great book for both beginner and seasoned Laravel developer. It is very well written and dives in the more complex parts of Laravel… Highly recommend…
