About the Book
Laravel: Code Smart is the third installment in my 'Code' series of books for the Laravel framework. The 'Code' books have thousands of readers and are considered by many to be the most effective method of learning the Laravel framework. As always, my books serve as both an introduction for beginners, and reference material for more experienced developers. I promise that you're going to love it! You'll be writing Laravel applications in no time.
Features
Code Smart is the true evolution of the 'Code' series. Here are some of the new features.
- Full support for Laravel 5.
- Revamped code examples, with improved highlighting.
- Existing content from Code Bright is refreshed for the new generation of Laravel.
- Code samples now adhere to the PSR-2 coding standard, and use modern PHP features.
- Spelling and grammar have improved tenfold!
- Entirely new introductory and installation chapters. It's now much easier to get started.
- Get started using 'Homestead' to be up and running with Laravel in no time at all.
- A bunch of extra hints and tips scattered throughout the chapters.
- Free beer.
Launch Content
Code Smart will launch with existing Code Bright content revamped, new Laravel 5 chapters, and almost 400 pages. Then it will grow on a weekly basis to become the biggest and greatest resource for learning the Laravel framework. I'm committed to writing at least one new chapter a week. You can vote for the new chapters, by tweeting with the hashtag #codesmart.
Direct Contact
If you find any topic confusing, would like something explained in a different way, or would like something added to the book, simply email me! We'll work together to make Code Smart the number one book for the Laravel framework.
Oh. By the way. Did I mention that there are pandas? There are loads of pandas! Buy it now!
Seriously, though. If you decide to buy Code Smart, then you'll be supporting my future career as a technical author. Thanks to each and every one of you.
