About the Book

Note: This book was written while Laravel 4.0 was out. The latest version 4 release is 4.2, and the latest stable release of Laravel is 5 (soon to be 5.1). Each of these version bumps has give us new tools, which are not representing in this  book.

Unfortunately I do not have the time to keep updating this book, and no longer feel it necessarily represents the most current best practices (it being a relatively static book about a quickly evolving framework.

Because of the above reasons, I've made the book free!

So, you know the basics of Laravel. You've read about unit testing. Perhaps you've read Taylor Otwell's book and have a grasp of Dependency Injection, IoC containers and SOLID principles. Now you have a project that needs building!

BUT: You're still left with the looming question of implementation: How do I actually use these principles? How should I organize my application code? Why do I still end up with so much code in my controllers?

This book is the bridge over the gap between knowing good architecture principles and implementing them in your application.

What You'll Learn:

  • Concrete examples on architecting working code in testable and maintainable ways.
  • Using Laravel's IoC containers and Service Providers
  • Code organization, and the thinking behind it
  • Including and Implementing third-party packages
  • Real-world, working code available on GitHub

Some Chapters Include:

  • Installation and Environment Setup
  • Using the Repository Pattern
  • Caching in the Repository
  • Error Handling with Notifications
  • Validation as a Service
  • Testable Form Processing
