What's New in Laravel 5.3 Releaseimrealashu.in

As we all know we’re getting more closer to Laravel 5.3 release and expecting some cool features. So today I thought I should write my own perspective on this release. There are lots of changes including some big changes and some small changes we’re expecting to see in this release.

The Eloquent Model can actually do tons of things in a very smart and easy way. However, something can be improved in terms of code to write every time you want to do a specific operation.

Laravel is a very popular PHP framework. It's known for it's ease of use and complementary side projects such as the Homestead Vagrant box. Laravel is very opinionated, but so far it's been lacking a default choice for a front end JavaScript framework. That changed today with Vue.
