Acknowledgements

First of all, I would like to thank my girlfriend Emma, for not only putting up with all my nerdy ventures but also for taking the amazing red panda shots for the books! Love you, Emma!

Thanks to my parents, who have been supporting my nerdy efforts for close to thirty-two years! Also, thanks for buying a billion or so copies of the first few books for family members!

Taylor Otwell, the journey with Laravel has been incredible. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be part of the team and for your continued friendship. Thanks for making a framework that’s a real pleasure to use, makes our code read like poetry, and for putting so much time and passion into its development.

Thank you to everyone who bought my previous books and to all of the Laravel community. Without your support, futures titles would not have been possible.
