Laravel is a PHP framework committed to elegance and simplicity. Programming doesn’t have to be painful. In fact, it can be enjoyable with the right tools. Laravel is for all PHP programmers, even beginners. In fact, Laravel’s documentation makes Laravel a great choice for both beginning and advanced PHP programmers.
In addition to the documentation, Laravel’s friendly community is always willing to help answer questions that aren’t covered in the documentation. Bundles are a great way to package and share Laravel code. They can be anything – from a complete ORM or simple debugging tools, and it’s a breeze to drop them into your application!
