About This Book

Laravel: Up and Running is designed for busy professionals who want to learn Laravel while commuting, exercising, knitting, woodworking, swimming, prancing, or relaxing. This comprehensive audio book breaks down complex programming concepts into digestible, easy-to-understand segments; it's never going to let you down.

Whether you're a complete beginner or looking to refresh your knowledge, our audio guide takes you through the essential concepts of modern Laravel programming, from basic syntax to advanced algorithms and data structures. The narration is clear, concise, and paced for optimal learning, not at all ADHD super-speed like Matt's conference talks and podcasts and YouTube videos.

What makes this audio book unique is our innovative approach to describing code verbally, using carefully crafted analogies and mental models that help you visualize programming concepts without needing to look at a screen.
