Since Laravel has become an outstanding framework now-a-days, most of the developers are trying to switch to this awesome framework. I think most of the developers are attracted in Laravel for it's coding standard and well-organized environment. I was really stuck when I was looking through the documentations and tutorials on web. I found it too much complex and it was really hard for me to get into it, honestly said. But after spending some time with it, I think I'm starting to like it :-)

So, I would like to share the very beginning steps for getting into Laravel. Those who are developing in Windows platform, I'm going to share how you can combine your Laravel project with the WAMP (Windows, Apache, Mysql, Php) server and also how to start a laravel project in Windows platform.

Many developers use wamp/xampp in windows platform to maintain their php projects. Wamp/xampp generally turns the users (basically the developers) pc into a local server. Thus they can run their project by typing the url localhost.

So, no more gossiping, let's get into the tasks to install the Laravel framework.
