Most modern PHP applications of any complexity are developed using a PHP MVC framework. Frameworks help speed up development, but also help developers adhere to accepted and well-tested coding practices. Division of application concerns fall into three primary areas: Models, Views and Controllers (MVC). This course will explore the most widely used PHP Framework – the Laravel MVC framework.
