+Laravel's events provide a simple observer pattern implementation, allowing you to subscribe and listen for various events that occur within your application. Event classes are typically stored in the app/Events directory, while their listeners are stored in app/Listeners. Don't worry if you don't see these directories in your application as they will be created for you as you generate events and listeners using Artisan console commands.
 
-## About Laravel
-
-Laravel is a web application framework with expressive, elegant syntax. We believe development must be an enjoyable and creative experience to be truly fulfilling. Laravel takes the pain out of development by easing common tasks used in many web projects, such as:
-
-- [Simple, fast routing engine](https://laravel.com/docs/routing).
-- [Powerful dependency injection container](https://laravel.com/docs/container).
-- Multiple back-ends for [session](https://laravel.com/docs/session) and [cache](https://laravel.com/docs/cache) storage.
-- Expressive, intuitive [database ORM](https://laravel.com/docs/eloquent).
-- Database agnostic [schema migrations](https://laravel.com/docs/migrations).
-- [Robust background job processing](https://laravel.com/docs/queues).
-- [Real-time event broadcasting](https://laravel.com/docs/broadcasting).
-
-Laravel is accessible, powerful, and provides tools required for large, robust applications.

+Events serve as a great way to decouple various aspects of your application, since a single event can have multiple listeners that do not depend on each other. For example, you may wish to send a Slack notification to your user each time an order has shipped. Instead of coupling your order processing code to your Slack notification code, you can raise an App\Events\OrderShipped event which a listener can receive and use to dispatch a Slack notification.
