Part 07. Introducing Routing

About this Course This course will show you how to build the Treehouse course catalog using Laravel, one of the most popular PHP frameworks. You could easily use this project to create your own basic Laravel application using the MVC design pattern. What you'll learn: - Connect database environment variables; - Create Laravel Routes and Closures; - Extend Views using Blade templating; - Produce database Models and Seeders; - Migrate and seed your application database. Application Navigation (Routing) Application navigation in Laravel is achieved using routes. A route maps all user requests to the appropriate controller, much like an air traffic controller would route airplane traffic. In this stage, you'll learn to use routes and other tools such as Closures and Artisan CLI, to create seamless navigation for your Laravel application.
