# What is Laravel?

The Aero platform is built using the [Laravel PHP framework](https://laravel.com/).

Laravel is a free, open-source PHP web framework designed to make building scalable web applications easier and faster by providing pre-built components and structure.

Before developing with Aero, we recommend that you become acquainted with the core concepts of Laravel. We recommend the following resources:

- The official [Laravel documentation](https://laravel.com/docs) is a great place to start
- [Laracasts](https://laracasts.com/) offer an on‑demand library of screencast video tutorials
