Laravel is a free PHP web framework. It was created by Taylor Otwell 5 years ago and since then it grew rapidly and now it has become one of the most popular among PHP frameworks; it is said to be superior over all the others.

This is because it offers more than nine thousand packages (it is at least three times more packages than every other framework) and also because most of the frameworks are very confusing with a very hard to understand code syntax.

In this way development becomes just a painful thing to do. But not with Laravel!

On the other hand Laravel focuses on using a syntax that is easily readable, simple and expressive, it is almost like reading normal English. It also has a better maintainability and more robust features. Moreover these features will work flawlessly with very little configuration, in order to lessen the code-bloat (code bloat is the overproduction of code that is considered unnecessarily slow and long, and a waste of resources).

It is very easy to learn how to use Laravel’s functionalities and this is the reason why it has so many users. The documentation of Laravel is well written and always up-to-date. If you learn how to use this platform correctly you will surely be proud of the results and you will save time and increase your productivity thanks to the built-in features. On Laravel everyone can succeed in building a proper working application and sharing it with everyone.

Some important features of this platform are bundles. What are bundles? They are packages that you can download and add to your laravel installation; to download these bundles you just have to look for them on Artisan, which is a command-line tool that comes with Laravel when you install it. There are already quite a few bundles and more are being added all the time, but the most people’s favourite one is called Bob the Builder, which is very useful to create and manage files, migrations and tests.

Many developers who switched from another framework to Laravel are very happy about their choice and feel like they have become better programmer thanks to the learning made on Laravel platform. But not everything can be good; in fact the development in Laravel is not so fast in compare to other PHP frameworks. Moreover, because it is a new platform, it can be quite slow at times and when you have problems with the website it will lead you to documentation that will probably not help you.

Also because it is kind of new, the community is not as helpful as the ones of many other platforms, but it is just a matter of time: by the time the amount of users will grow, the community will evolve too and thus it will be more useful.
