Laravel 4 Online Tutorial Series
November 10 2012, 5:20pm
The Laravel php framework has quickly became the new "cool kid on the block" of php frameworks. While my go-to framework CodeIgniter prides itself on it's backwards compatibility, Laravel takes a more aggressive approach and focuses on taking advantage of the latest functionality in php. I have to say I have liked what I've seen so far with Laravel; the Elequent ORM is top notch, named routes (and other great features I've seen in Symfony), Restful Controllers, a focus on dependency-injection to help support unit-testing, built in pagination, and a DB Migration system.
Taylor Otwell, the creator of Laravel is doing a online tutorial series on his company UserScrape's Vimeo channel, there's been 4 videos already so go check them out!
