Laravel is a framework designed for quick and efficient development of applications. Its main goal is to make the learning process easy and reduce the number of steps required to start a new app and make it available to the public. Laravel simplifies the most common tasks involved in creating web applications, such as working with databases, handling authentication, managing queues, sending emails, and implementing caching. What sets Laravel apart is that its components not only excel individually but also offer a unified API and consistent structures throughout the entire framework. This means that when you experiment with new features in Laravel, you’ll often find yourself satisfied by it’s performance.
