* You will need to have LAMP installed on your workstation or to have your own simple vps .. This book is not intended to teach you Laravel, instead it will help you to learn how to use Parse.com in your next web project ..
Christopher Pitt : I found the formatting sufficient, the language easy to follow and the level of detail exactly right to not bore me to death. If you’re keen to learn how to use Parse, and you know a tiny bit of Laravel, this is definitely a good read. Read the full review
Laravel News : No. This book is not an exhaustive reference of Laravel functionality, but then it doesn’t aim to be. It’s purpose is to demonstrate how to use Parse data storage in a concrete application, and that it does well. Read the full review
