Laravel is a PHP web application framework that's open-source and designed for building web applications following the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architectural pattern. It was created back in 2011 and has become one of the most widely used PHP frameworks for web development.

Laravel offers developers numerous powerful features and tools. These include a straightforward and expressive syntax, built-in database migration and schema management, automated testing capabilities, and a robust ecosystem of third-party packages. Among its key features are its powerful routing engine, which allows developers to easily define application routes, and its comprehensive ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) system, which simplifies working with databases and models.

PHP is a scripting language widely used for web development, with code processed on a web server through a PHP interpreter, implemented as a module, daemon, or CGI executable. Nginx lacks the default ability to handle dynamic web pages with PHP and requires specific additional plugins for this purpose. One such plugin is FPM (FastCGI Process Manager), an alternative PHP FastCGI implementation offering additional features, particularly advantageous for high-traffic sites. FPM stands out as the preferred method for PHP page processing with Nginx, surpassing traditional CGI-based methods in terms of speed.

The Simpsons, that legendary animated series we all know and love, has become a cultural phenomenon. With its hilarious take on family life in Springfield, it's an absolute classic. We decided to have a bit of fun and recreate the show's iconic theme song using a piezo buzzer.

Buzzer is used to generate sound, beep or even melody of a song. It can be found in alarm devices, computers, timers and confirmation of user input such as a mouse click or keystroke. A piezo buzzer is not like a regular speaker that you might think of. It uses a material that actually changes shape when you apply electricity to it which in turn creates noise. The faster you bend the material, the higher the pitch of the noise that is produced.

The Doom melody requires more memory than others, so make sure your board can handle that amount. If not, you will usually encounter an error during compilation.

As a workaround, you can try removing some of the notes (along with their respective durations) to fit the melody on the board.
