In the discussion of PHP
development, programmers use different free PHP frameworks like Yii, CakePHP,
PHPDevShell, etc. But, all the top PHP frameworks have different features.
Being a developer, I would like to prefer a framework which contains verity of
development features. So, here comes the famous name of Laravel PHP Framework
which is taking the PHP community in storm. It is free open source PHP
framework for the web application development endorsed to Taylor Otwell
following MVC architecture.
Laravel Homestead
It was very difficult to setup a
local PHP development environment in a system in the past. For a proper PHP
version installation, its extensions, and necessary components are confusing
and time consuming. Instead of all old PHP versions, the use of Laravel
Homestead is more reliable. Homestead quickly provides an isolated development
environment. For the development of robust PHP applications, homestead is a
prepackaged containing all the required software. Most PHP developers start
their work by nesting numerous lines of SQL queries directly into their frigid,
unreadable PHP. It will be useless to say, excluding the most essential of websites;
this swiftly leads to an un-maintainable mess.
Laravel Forge
Considered one of Laravel's goals
should be to make PHP web application development enjoyable from acquire to utilize,
and Laravel Forge comes with a simple strategy to deploy ones Laravel software
onto blazing fast machines. Forge can easily configure in addition to provision
machines on DigitalOcean, Linode, Rackspace, in addition to Amazon EC2. Similar
to Homestead, every one of the latest goodies are incorporated:
- Nginx
- PHP 5.6
- MySQL

- Redis
- Memcached
- and more…
Forge "Quick Deploy"
can also deploy ones code for you every time you push changes out to Bitbucket or
GitHub.
