Summary


In this Appendix, we discussed the basics of the MVC design pattern. We also discussed the Laravel framework and some of its good features. We introduced you to the Laravel-based micro-framework, Lumen. At the end, we had a small introduction to Apigility and created a test API and web service.

In IT, things get obsolete in a very short time span. It is always required to study upgraded tools and find new ways and techniques for the best approaches in programming. Therefore, one should not stop after completing this book and start studying new topics and also the topics that are not covered completely in this book. Until this point, you will have the knowledge that you can use to set up high-performance environments for high-performance applications. We wish you good luck and success in PHP-ing!
