Laravel: Code Smart

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.
