Laravel ka Introduction
Laravel ek modern PHP framework hai jo web applications develop karne ke liye use hota hai. Ye framework "Taylor Otwell" ne banaya tha, aur iska purpose hai development ko easy, fast aur secure banana.
Laravel ek aisa framework hai jahan developer ka kaam asaan ho jata hai — routing, security, database, file handling sab kuch already built-in hota hai.
Laravel kyu use kare?
Laravel ka use karne ke kai strong reasons hain. Sabse pehla reason hai iska clean code structure. Agar aap traditional PHP use kar rahe ho, to Laravel aapko ek system deta hai jahan har cheez properly organized hoti hai — routes, views, models, controllers sab alag folder me.
Doosra reason hai ki Laravel aapko security features, form validation, login system, database interaction, background jobs sab built-in deta hai. Aapko har cheez khud se zero se banani nahi padti.
