Laravel. Internet resources

Hi Habr!

When I learned that Laravel had its own hub on Habré, I immediately knew what my first article for Habrahabr would be about. More precisely, not an article, but an overview of Internet resources about Laravel, most of which I use to please every day members of our community with fresh news. And, of course, these are not all resources, but only the most interesting and useful ones. And if any of you are interested in not only links to Internet resources, but also the materials themselves on Laravel, then I’m happy to invite you to our VKontakte group. It so happened that for all the time of its existence, and this is only 10 months, our group has become the largest and most complete resource in the world in terms of the amount of materials about the Laravel framework. And I do not know of another such Laravel Internet resource.
