# About this project This is the first prototype of [YOTA](https://github.com/MatejaMaric/yota-laravel) reservation system, made in pure PHP, and it uses MariaDB. **It is a great example of how things should NOT be done.** It showcases benefits of using a framework and concepts like: - Routing - Models, Views, Controllers - Templating - Object-relational mapping - Database migrations You can of course implement all this by yourself using object-oriented PHP. But there is little reason to do that since you can use a framework like Laravel that does all that and more, better.
