Learning Laravel 4 Application Development

I just finished reading “Learning Laravel 4 Application Development”, written by Hardik Dangar. The book is over 200 pages in length, and covers the development of an application, starting from the installation of Laravel on Mac, Windows, and Linux (Ubuntu) and finishing with the actual deployment of the application using FTP, Git, or SSH. Some of the highlights of the book include profiling tools, RESTful API development, and the detailed code examples, which comprises a large portion of the book. It serves as a great reference for the various steps of building an application, as well as addresses issues such as logging and security.
