Description
This practical course focuses on using Laravel, the well-known PHP framework, and Lumen, Laravel's lightweight micro-framework for developing extremely fast APIs, to create scalable and reliable APIs. Also, working with Flutter, Google's UI toolkit for developing dynamically constructed mobile apps from a single codebase, you will then move into integrating these APIs. From building your environment and creating your initial approaches to implementing practical API-driven applications, this course will provide you with the backend and mobile frontend skills required for becoming a full-stack developer.
