In this course, we’ll build a REST API with Laravel that allows you to submit your favorite books and authors. The REST API we’re building, from scratch -- can return a list of books with authors and also allows you to submit, update and delete books and authors. This aggregating of information is a common use case for APIs as well as SaaS applications, short for software as a service-- such as Turbo Tax or Spotify. Let’s get started!
Laravel version
It is recommended that you use Laravel 6 when following along with this course. Laravel version 6 is the latest LTS (long-term support) version available currently.
