In the world of web development, Laravel is designed to be a finely crafted tool in an artisan’s workshop. Created by Taylor Otwell in 2011 from Symfony components, Laravel has grown from a simple PHP framework into a robust ecosystem for building web applications. It is the most popular and trusted PHP framework on Github.
What sets Laravel apart?
Imagine you’re building a house. You could gather all the raw materials and start from scratch, or you could use a set of well-designed blueprints and pre-fabricated components. Laravel is like those blueprints and components for web applications.
It provides:
- A structure that makes sense, keeping your code organized
- Ready-made solutions for common tasks, so you’re not reinventing the wheel
- A way to write code that’s easy to understand and maintain
Why businesses love Laravel
- Speed to market: Laravel’s pre-built components mean your ideas can become reality faster.
- Scalability: As your business grows, Laravel grows with you.
- Security: Laravel includes tools to keep your application and your users’ data safe.
- Community: A vast network of developers means solutions to problems are often just a search away.
