Laravel is a PHP framework designed for web application development, offering features like routing, middleware, authentication, and an ORM called Eloquent.

Eloquent is Laravel's ORM that provides an elegant syntax for interacting with databases and allows developers to define database relationships easily.

Laravel handles routing through the `routes/web.php` file for web routes and `routes/api.php` for API routes. Each route is associated with a URL and an action.

Middleware in Laravel provides a mechanism to filter HTTP requests entering your application. Common use cases include authentication, logging, and modifying request data.

Laravel offers built-in authentication scaffolding, including login, registration, and password reset features, which can be set up using `php artisan make:auth` (for Laravel 6 or earlier) or `laravel/ui` package for newer versions.

Migrations in Laravel are version-controlled files used to define and modify database schema, making it easy to manage database changes across teams.

Flutter is an open-source UI software development kit created by Google. It allows developers to build natively compiled applications for mobile, web, and desktop from a single codebase.

Flutter offers features like a rich set of pre-designed widgets, a fast development cycle with hot reload, cross-platform compatibility, and access to native device features.

While both are cross-platform frameworks, Flutter uses the Dart programming language, whereas React Native uses JavaScript. Flutter offers a more consistent look and feel across platforms, while React Native has a larger ecosystem.

Dart is the programming language used to build apps in Flutter. It is an object-oriented, class-based language that is easy to learn, and it compiles to native code for high performance.

Yes, Flutter can be used for web development. Although it started as a mobile app framework, Flutter now supports building applications for the web, allowing you to use the same codebase for mobile and web platforms.
