This is the kind of book I wish was available 6 months ago when I encountered Laravel for the first time and started to experiment with it. For somebody starting development with Laravel and having no prior experience with the framework this book is a must, as the recipes included covers most of the stuff ranging from beginner to intermediate level and beyond, with whole chapters dealing with basics as installing and setting up, authentication, data storage and querying using ORM, ajax, security, testing and debugging. Although Laravel is a familiar framework, I decided to re-read the chapters on controllers, views, form handling and users authentication and to my surprise I picked up a whole bunch of new information in the process, the chapters on composer and particularly the one on ajax where welcomed as I was seeking similar info on the net... And the one thing I appreciate the most is to have all of the information in one bundle, as it makes the book a good reference to go back to.I'm really pleased with the outcome and I feel the author did a really great job and lastly I would wholeheartedly recommend this book to any developer wishing to use Laravel for his upcoming project.

This a very well-written, easy to follow reference which serves exactly the purpose for which I bought it. It's not a basic primer on Laravel, but a how-to for specific tasks you always need to do with a framework. A very good collection of recipes.

Laravelの開発と基本、事例などがわかります。Laravel4のネット上のマニュアル&APIリファレンスなどとあわせて見るのに適していると思います。対象は、Laravel未経験者です。(ディープな内容は書いていないです)php経験は必要ですが他のフレームワーク経験がなくても読める本かと思いました。Laravelのクセなどがつかめます。(ネットマニュアル & 記事だけだと若干不安なので読んで見ました)一部で少し情報が古い点もありますが、最新のLaravel4開発でもほとんど通用すると思います。

Terry Matula’s Laravel Application Development Cookbook is a good resource for PHP developers who are familiar with MVC code frameworks and want to quickly get up to speed on Laravel. It’s especially valuable for developers like me who have heard about many time-saving dev tools (such as SublimeText2) but never had time to dig into them. This book is totally hands-on, which is great when you’re trying to get a working app up in a short time frame. This isn’t an MVC introduction -- If you haven’t worked with MVC frameworks before, this book might not confuse you, but it might leave you wondering why the code works the way it does.Laravel Application Development Cookbook embraces the reality that today’s dev tools work in integrated development environments, not as self-standing pieces of software. Specific tools used in the book include: Git (with Laravel installed as a submodule) for source control; Apache web server; Sublime Text and NetBeans IDE; Composer as a dependency package installer; OAuth (optionally) for user authorization; Fluent for query building; jQuery for AJAX and general UI functions; Bootstrap for dynamic styling and sizing; PHPUnit for unit testing. Due to the hands-on nature of the narrative, and its reliance on specific tools that integrate well with Laravel, this cookbook’s sample code might be awkward for devs who already have a favorite development toolkit and aren’t interested in adopting new pieces. But for me, this was a huge bonus: learn Laravel and simultaneously get a painless introduction to some good productivity tools. Laravel Application Development Cookbook also gives a good introduction to some of Laravel’s specialized built-in tools: Artisan command line; Eloquent ORM and Blade templating engine, for example.Most of the book’s chapters cover common situations such as creating a textbox with autocomplete, returning data as JSON, validating a user login and displaying nested views. There are also some niche use cases like reading RSS feeds as a data source.This book is well worth reading if you’re interested in trying out Laravel for the first time, or using it more effectively. Full disclosure: I received a free preview copy of this book. I jumped at the chance to preview this because Laravel has gotten good reviews and I needed a good book to get me started on it. I was definitely not disappointed.

Laravel Application Development Cookbook: Since Laravel is so versatile, one of the best learning routes is a cookbook. We've included lots of recipes and guidance on building web application, both simple and complex. It's a pick & mix approach that works brilliantly.
