LEARNING LARAVEL LIKE A TRUE ARTISAN

I've always had a huge difficulty in choosing between the visual part (frontend) and the code part (backend) to become a specialist. Code architecture, design patterns and databases, call my attention taking into account their complexity and the constant challenges to transform codes and logics into something?visual. And when I was looking for new ways to build my software development projects, i decided to try one of the most known frameworks in the universe of programming language PHP, the worthy?Laravel.

As usual, I started by buying a book about the subject. Also, I researched the history of how Laravel emerge and I end up step into a course that became one of the best online course I've ever take in the area of technology (Course Link).

Since I already have knowledge in the area, the learning curve didn't take too long. The passion for practicality in building web apps using this wonderful framework also didn't take long, making justice to their slogan:?The PHP Framework for Web Artisans.

Laravel programmer is literally an artisans

The main idea of Laravel it's the practicality and organization. The entire structure of the framework was designed to act in total harmony, nothing out of place. All the functions you want to implement Laravel offers you a few lines of code to finish the project. Everything follows a logic that can help you not getting lost and makes your project works in a straight line. Below I present a structure that I drew representing the organization of the framework:

The community is here to help you

The Laravel community, unlike many others I've seen out there, is very active and very receptive. These two arguments alone would make any experienced programmer think about using it. Having an active community isn't only useful in terms of answering questions, but also allows access to more resources since in this community skilled programmers share projects, libraries and reusable code.

And as I said above, once Lavarel is a framework that works in harmony and in a single line of logic, many of these libraries created by other programmers in the community, can be used in different projects very easily, like a puzzle piece.
