title: Laravel - how to serve a new laravel project to browser
body: <p>This is the first time I've used a PHP framework.</p>
  
  <p>I've been following the Laravel documentation to install Composer and Laravel, and everything seems to have gone smoothly.</p>
  
  <p>But now I've finished the installation/configure instructions, and I have created a project, I can't see any instructions on how to serve my application so it's viewable via a browser?</p>
  
  <p>I have used Ruby on Rails before, which came with an easy way to get an instance of the application running via a built-in web server. </p>
  
  <p>Is there something similar with Laravel, or do I need to somehow configure my standard Apache instance to serve the application? </p>
  
  <p>I'm guessing there is something I've overlooked or misunderstood in the documentation.</p>
