Chapter 2 - Who are you?

Most books start with information about the author but the more important question really is “who are you?”

I’m making the following assumptions:

• You know more about computers than most people.
• You are a programmer.
• You know how to program in PHP. Maybe a little. Maybe a lot.
• You’ve heard of Laravel. (This isn’t a deal-breaker because I’m going to tell you about it.)
• You love programming or want to get back the passion that first drove you to make computers do your bidding.
• Your name is not Taylor Otwell because if it is, then I’m not worthy.

I’ll do my best to make the material approachable to beginners, yet interesting and in-depth enough for intermediate programmers to find the material useful.

Bottom line You want to learn more about Laravel.
