The book is being updated from version 10 to 11 as part of my commitment to the reader to provide updated and current content, and I have migrated the first chapters and I am currently in this process.

This book is for anyone who wants to build their first applications in Laravel 11, this writing offers a step-by-step introduction to the framework, knowing the most relevant aspects of it and is focused above all on practice; it is assumed that the reader has knowledge and has developed PHP and related language technologies, such as JavaScript, HTML and CSS and even similar frameworks; Remember that to use any framework, you have to have the bases that support it, that is, its programming language.

7. We will know how to send flash type session messages which we will use to confirm CRUD operations.
8. This chapter is reinforcement, in which we will create a CRUD for the categories in which we have to use everything learned so far.
9. This chapter is oriented to learn the use of routes; which in Laravel are very extensible and full of options for groupings, types and options.
10. In this chapter, we are going to create an authentication system and all that this entails for our application by installing Laravel Breeze, which also configures Tailwind.css in the project and Alpine.js.
11. We are going to expand the scheme provided by Laravel Breeze for authentication, creating a protection based on roles, to handle different types of users in specific modules of the application.
12. In this chapter, we will learn about some common Eloquent operations applied to the database using query builders.
13. We are going to introduce the use of components in Laravel as a central element to create a modular application.
14. We will learn how to generate test data using classes.
15. We will learn how to create a CRUD type Rest Api and additional methods to perform additional queries.
16. We are going to protect the CRUD type Rest Api with Sanctum, using SPA and token authentication.
17. We are going to consume the Rest Api through a CRUD type application in Vue 3 using axios requests and web components with Oruga UI; we will also see the process of uploading files.
18. We will learn how to configure Browsersync with Laravel to do automatic application reloads.
19. We will protect the application in Vue with login required to access its different modules using SPA authentication or Laravel Sanctum tokens.
20. We are going to learn how to manage the cache, to save access data to improve application performance and avoid bottlenecks with the database.
21. We are going to learn how to manage access policies to certain application modules through Gates and Policies.

23. We will see how to manage the permissions and roles of a user to authorize certain parts of the application with a flexible scheme and widely used in web applications of all kinds using Spatie, in this chapter we will learn how to perform this integration and we will develop a module to manage this permissions.
