Getting Started with Laravel

Laravel is a web application framework with expressive, elegant syntax. It attempts to take the pain out of development by easing common tasks used in most web projects. Laravel makes it easy to build modern PHP applications. With built-in routing, migrations, Eloquent ORM, and a powerful templating engine, you can go from idea to production faster than ever. In this post we cover the basics of setting up a new Laravel project, connecting a database, and building your first route and view. By the end you will have a solid foundation to build any application you can imagine.
