The Usual About Me
• Self-taught HTML in 1997 (1st Book bought on MV Doulos)• Founded WebEvolution Resources in 2001• Decade in Sales (Banking & Pharmaceutical)• Founded yourfoodreview.com in 2010• Founded Green Room in 2013• Really into PHP after meeting other half
Back to Laravel• Before there were light, there was CodeIgniter.
• CodeIgniter is probably the most popular framework back then, known for it’s ultra lightweight and simple learning curve.
• In 2011, Taylor Otwell the creator of Laravel decided that some essential functionalities are missing in CodeIgniter, like out-of-the-box authentication, closure routing & etc.
• Laravel 4 was released on May 2013, rewritten from ground up. It is now one of the, if not, the most powerful PHP framework. With advance functionality such as DB seeding, built-in mailer, blade templating and an even more powerful Eloquent ORM.
