Introduction
Hi there! I’m Dayle Rees, and I’m going to be taking you on a magical journey into the world of
Laravel! Okay on second thoughts that sounds really cheesy. You see this is my first book, so I
am gonna be a little rusty at all the posh literary stuff. So if you like straight talking, and being
“spoken” to like a real human being then boy are you in for a treat!
You might be asking yourselves “So why should I trust this guy to teach me Laravel? He isn’t
even an experienced author!”
Well what I lack in experience, I make up for in enthusiasm. I am a huge fan of web development,
and the tools and tricks that save us time or make our jobs a lot easier. Laravel fills both of those
requirements, and is one of the most useful pieces of software I have ever discovered. In fact my
enthusiasm and passion for the framework, that can only be rivalled by the framework author
himself has led to me being included as a member of the Laravel core team and “Council” as we
like to call it, sounds fancier right?
Being on the Laravel Core team grants me certain privileges such as being notified of new ideas
and planned additions to the framework, and by contributing to the framework I am constantly
in touch with its forever improving code base. This puts me in a great position to keep the book
up to date, which I intend to do with every future release of the framework.
Although I despise going off-topic, it seems compulsory to have a short paragraph about the
author within books of this kind, so let’s keep it short and sweet. I live on the coast of Wales
(that’s a country on the side of England for you Americans) and I work for a large public sector
organisation in Aberystwyth. In my spare time I am highly involved with the Laravel framework.
Oh and as I said before, I don’t claim to be a literary genius, let’s be honest my writing is gonna
suck, it’s not gonna be all fancy like those other coding books. I will be ‘talking’ to you like a
real person, you might actually talk back too, we will see. Hopefully my passion for Laravel
will make up for my common English (to be fair, I am a Welshman). You don’t need to know
anything more about me though, let’s switch our focus to Laravel.
Laravel is a breath of fresh air in the world of PHP. The PHP programming language is generally
quite renowned for its ugly function names, and while we PHP developers have learned to love
it, the syntax can be a little ugly compared to some modern Japanese languages. Hi Ruby!
Fortunately Laravel changes this, in fact.. I believe that the Laravel syntax (which granted builds
on PHP’s own) is so expressive and neat that I find it much easier to read than Ruby. It’s not too
compact, and while it won’t read like an English sentence, it will read like poetry that can only
be seen by the eyes of a programmer.
But Dayle..
You say, suddenly worried that your money could have been better spent on some mind numbing
fun juice.
Laravel is a framework, not a language!
