- 00:00:00 what is Lera well if we have a look at
- 00:00:03 our traditional setup with the client so
- 00:00:05 the browser and the server which
- 00:00:08 exchange requests and responses then
- 00:00:10 Lera will runs on the server it's not a
- 00:00:14 server-side language though it's instead
- 00:00:17 a server-side framework for PHP which is
- 00:00:20 the server-side language right at your
- 00:00:22 app with just PHP is pretty cumbersome
- 00:00:26 and you can easily make some mistakes
- 00:00:28 and that is why you typically use
- 00:00:29 frameworks like letter well to make it
- 00:00:31 easier to get a lot of helper tools and
- 00:00:34 lateral tends to be or happens to be one
- 00:00:36 of the most popular ones you use it to
- 00:00:39 work with files to easily access the
- 00:00:41 database and a general to run your
- 00:00:43 server-side business logic so any logic
- 00:00:45 that you don't want or can't execute in
- 00:00:48 the browser letter will therefore kind
- 00:00:51 of competes with Ruby on Rails asp.net
- 00:00:54 nodejs and Java though I also listed
- 00:00:57 frameworks like Express or spring
- 00:00:59 because keep in mind Larry will is a
- 00:01:01 framework it's not the language the
- 00:01:04 languages PHP just makes using that
- 00:01:06 language easier level is framework not a
- 00:01:10 language you heard this and to be more
- 00:01:13 specific it offers us a lot of packages
- 00:01:15 around routing so handling requests to
- 00:01:18 different urls correctly about managing
- 00:01:21 the database access security related
- 00:01:24 packages it makes working with files and
- 00:01:27 storage easier it helps us to handle
- 00:01:29 requests and responses and send to write
- 00:01:32 HTML files back to the client for
- 00:01:34 example
- 00:01:35 it helps us with caching if we want this
- 00:01:37 and much much more
- 00:01:40 level is an awesome framework and you
- 00:01:42 might want to use it because PHP still
- 00:01:45 is one of the most widely used
- 00:01:47 server-side languages it's Meryl of PHP
- 00:01:51 it's simple it's fast its scalable it
- 00:01:53 gets used by bigger companies and it has
- 00:01:56 a widened ecosystem and community there
- 00:01:58 are loads of resources that help you
- 00:02:00 diving into Larry well
