Laravel London Community 👋

I had the privilege of partnering with Dan and Zuzana on last week's inaugural Laravel London meetup.

It's a joy kick off this community, and we're excited to see where we can take it.

Congrats on the launch!
It's a big week - @ianlandsman.com and @aaronfrancis.com talk about the launch of Database School!

I met James Brooks for the first time at Laracon US this year.

We chatted about the UK, our kids and Laravel.

I shared that we were in the draft stage of Laravel for the rest of us, and he without hesitation offered to read it and provide feedback.

Publication day!

I'm blow away by amount of pre-orders, number of countries we've shipped to so far (17), and the kind words from those who received an early copy.

"We like the idea of the book, how can Laravel support you"

We'd love two things.

- To use your trademark

- For Taylor Otwell (the founder of Laravel), to read the book

Our book, Laravel for the rest of us, is published on November 19th. https://laravelfortherestofus.com.

This isn't a technical book.

It's a crafted guide around the world of Laravel and web-development.

A handbook for managers, CTOs, founders and those who have founder themselves in the Laravel orbit.

It's a chance to find out what words like Horizon, Eloquent and Scout mean.
