About the Book

This book is an up-to-date compilation of the official documentation pages hosted on http://laravel.com/docs to help the community to have an easy to read & organised offline documentation that can be used as a portable reference.

I will try my best to keep this book in sync with the official documentation by reviewing the changes in documentation repo periodically. If you find any error in the documentation or want to contribute, please feel free to fork the documentation repo in github and send pull request with corrections/enhancements. When your pull request will be accepted & merged into the repo, those updates will automatically be available in this book through next periodic sync.

The Leanpub 60 Day 100% Happiness Guarantee

Within 60 days of purchase you can get a 100% refund on any Leanpub purchase, in two clicks.

Now, this is technically risky for us, since you'll have the book or course files either way. But we're so confident in our products and services, and in our authors and readers, that we're happy to offer a full money back guarantee for everything we sell.

You can only find out how good something is by trying it, and because of our 100% money back guarantee there's literally no risk to do so!

So, there's no reason not to click the Add to Cart button, is there?

See full terms...

Earn $8 on a $10 Purchase, and $16 on a $20 Purchase

We pay 80% royalties on purchases of $7.99 or more, and 80% royalties minus a 50 cent flat fee on purchases between $0.99 and $7.98. You earn $8 on a $10 sale, and $16 on a $20 sale. So, if we sell 5000 non-refunded copies of your book for $20, you'll earn $80,000.

(Yes, some authors have already earned much more than that on Leanpub.)

In fact, authors have earned over $14 million writing, publishing and selling on Leanpub.
