First released in early 2015, thousands of readers from around the globe have since purchased the book, and thanks to a lean publishing approach, was updated literally hundreds of times throughout 2015 and 2016.

After a hiatus away from the book while working on several enterprise Laravel projects, in recent months Jason has been hard at work bringing the book current for Laravel 5.5, and adding a great deal of new and revised material.
