In this tutorial you'll be learning to use Laravel 5.7 to build a CRUD web app with a MySQL database from scratch starting with the installation of Composer (PHP package manager) to implementing and serving your application.
Read the full tutorial: Laravel 5.7 Tutorial: Build your First CRUD App with Laravel and MySQL (PHP 7.1)
This tutorial assumes you have PHP and MySQL installed on your system. Follow the instructions for your operating system to install both of them.
You also need to be familiar with Linux/macOS bash where we'll be executing the commands in this tutorial.
Familiarly with PHP is required since Laravel is based on PHP.
For development I will be using a Ubuntu 16.04 machine so the commands in this tutorial are targeting this system but you should be able to follow this tutorial in any operating system you use.
Laravel is a web application framework with expressive, elegant syntax. We believe development must be an enjoyable and creative experience to be truly fulfilling. Laravel attempts to take the pain out of development by easing common tasks used in the majority of web projects, such as:
- Simple, fast routing engine.
- Powerful dependency injection container.
- Multiple back-ends for session and cache storage.
- Expressive, intuitive database ORM.
- Database agnostic schema migrations.
- Robust background job processing.
- Real-time event broadcasting.
Laravel is accessible, yet powerful, providing tools needed for large, robust applications.
Laravel has the most extensive and thorough documentation and video tutorial library of any modern web application framework, making it a breeze to get started learning the framework.
If you're not in the mood to read, Laracasts contains over 1100 video tutorials on a range of topics including Laravel, modern PHP, unit testing, JavaScript, and more. Boost the skill level of yourself and your entire team by digging into our comprehensive video library.
