We have covered a lot in this chapter. You learned how to define routes, prepare the models of the application, and interact with them. Moreover, we have had a glimpse at the many powerful features of Eloquent, Blade, as well as the other convenient helpers in Laravel to create forms and input fields—all of this in under 200 lines of code!
In the next chapter, you will learn more about Laravel's powerful ORM, Eloquent, which allows you to perform powerful database queries without writing a line of SQL.
