Hi, I'm currently a heavy codeigniter user, looking for a switch. Can you please give me some of these examples you speak of that blow you away? Thank you.

  lets just say im a ex-CI user that wrote a huge app in CI and abandoned CI and went w/ Laravel the move cost 4 months of devs and about 20K... it was worth it. with no leadership and clear vision CodeIgniter is screwed... L4 follows PHP-Fig standards and it uses composer packaging, it has great leadership, community and is growing...

  one that got me was in a controller you can: return Model::Find('asdf=1'); and it outputs a json serialized array as html. so your ajax action is like one line of code, yay. or you can $row = Model::Find('asdf=1'); and manipulate in php from there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSt9rBa_oUM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSt9rBa_oUM this guys series on laravel is really good.

    > and it outputs a json serialized array as html Actually, it renders a raw JSON response - a single object of 'unguarded' attributes (all by default) for the model with Content-Type: application/json set. It has nothing to do with HTML. Your syntax is invalid too. To do what you want you'd actually call return Model::where('asdf', 1)->first();
