This book follows a practical and easy to follow approach and is packed with real world examples to understand all the fundamentals and concepts in a very concise way. This book is ideal for web developers who want to get up to speed with Laravel quickly. You are expected to have some experience with the PHP programming language or any Clike languages such as JavaScript, Perl, or Java along with some understanding of basic OOP concepts. Any experience with MVC frameworks such as ASP.NET MVC or Ruby on Rails will certainly be beneficial but not required. Lastly, some familiarity with command line interfaces will also help but is not essential either.
