About the Author

Alfred Nutile is an Enterprise Architect and Laravel lead based in Western Massachusetts. He's been working in the industry since the mid 90's. He started in PHP and MySQL back around that time and has worked with Ruby on Rails, Drupal, and Angular along the way. He introduced Laravel into an enterprise web stack, where he is currently contracted at, as Laravel proved itself as an amazing framework to build API's and Angular heavy application.

First let me say thanks to Taylor Otwell, I moved away from PHP to Rails and really was missing PHP only to be pointed to Laravel and have not looked back since. The framework makes my day to day work a pleasure and sometimes I feel guilty how easy it has made getting work done.

And Jeffrey Way for offering an amazing service that helped me to grow in understanding practical programming skills, keeping things simple, best practices and Laravel.

Of course I would like to thank Andrew Cavanagh for taking time to tediously edit this book. We have worked in the industry together for a number of years and currently both working on Laravel daily. And then there is my family who keeps me from getting too out of balanced since it is so easy to lose myself in the joy of building things on the computer!
