From CodeIgniter to Laravel is the perfect book for those wishing to learn Laravel or move from CodeIgniter, but are daunted by the seemingly high learning curve of Laravel.

Using your knowledge of CodeIgniter, the book will explain the similarities and differences between the two PHP frameworks, and show you how you may implement the same application code from CodeIgniter into Laravel using practical examples. Just some of the compared items include:

Routing
Controllers
Models, ORMs, and the database in general
Views
Libraries, Packages, and other third-party code
Input and Output (Requests and Responses)
Configuration

The book will also introduce newer PHP features and tools that are not utilized by CodeIgniter, but are heavily depended upon by Laravel, including namespaces, closures, Composer, and more.
