PHP has unquestionably taken the world by storm as the premier Web development language across a gamut of commercial specialties and applications. However, it can be a difficult task to select just the right PHP Web development framework, given the literally hundreds of toolkits that are already fielded and are added to seemingly weekly. Choosing the correct platform for your Web development task is critical, since a poor decision early on can have frightful ramifications throughout the life-cycle of the project. Laravel has emerged as the unquestioned leader among the numerous contenders. Its astonishing popularity derives from its wide array of powerful features that enable websites to be built quickly and to be extended with ease. Laravel is quite unlike the competitors in that it is extremely easy to use; integrates with a copious library of plug-ins that are tailored to specific purposes; and supports a particularly powerful command-line interface for use by more traditionally oriented programmers and Web developers.
The multiplicity of its object-oriented libraries makes Laravel the premier choice among the available competitors. Most significant among these libraries is the authentication library. In the current business climate, where both users and merchants are ever more cognizant of unwarranted theft or misuse of their private data and even information as seemingly innocuous as their leisure-time browsing habits, Laravel provides an authentication framework that supports a plethora of sophisticated mechanisms for authorization, maintenance, management, encryption, digital signature, and cross-site script disablement. Its fundamental security mechanisms make Laravel a natural choice for the creation and rollout of mission-critical Web applications that run atop the PCMCIA-compliant Web servers that are increasingly demanded by sponsors and underwriters and that are the only type of servers on which Buy Now Depot would presume to host its valued customers’ software, the very lifeblood of their organizations. Moreover, Buy Now Depot’s decades’ worth of experience participating in the creation, promulgation, and enforcement of both government and industrial data security standards enables its experts to take maximum advantage of these strong underlying security mechanisms to deliver you a rock-solid website without precedent or peer.
Laravel’s fundamental programming paradigms and built-in design patterns make it a breeze for both rapid prototyping and subsequently filling in arbitrarily rich detail. The Laravel tools themselves are structured according to the model-view-controller (MVC) design pattern that supports clear separation of design logic from business rules and naturally encourages robust application and site architecture, crystal-clear inline documentation, and expedited cooperation among the development team. Even more importantly, Laravel seamlessly integrates with a broad array of database technologies that form the essence of numerous high-traffic Web sites. This eliminates a major source of both technical errors and porting headaches that arise when sizable back-ends are interconnected to visually impressive front-ends.
