Never Expose DB Results Directly

If you rename a field, then your users are fucked. Convert with a hardcoded array structure.
Most DB drivers [for PHP] will show integers as numeric strings and false as "0", so you want to typecast them.
Unless you're using an ORM with "hidden" functionality, people will see passwords, salts and all sorts of fancy codes. If you add one and forget to put it in your $hidden array then OOPS!

Use the URI sparingly, and correctly

Use the query string for paired params instead of /users/id/5/active/true. Your API does not need to be SEO optimised.
?format=xml is stupid, use an Accept: application/xml header. I added this to the CodeIgniter Rest Server once for lazy people, and now people think it's a thing. It's not.

Laravel 4 Thoughts/Questions/Etc.

This is just a random list of notes, as I dig into Laravel 4. If you have any feedback/solutions, please leave a comment. I'll be compiling everything for an article on Nettuts+, when the framework is officially in Beta. This will be updated over the course of the week.

Running composer dump-autoload after every new controller is a pain. Can this not be automated through artisan controller:make ControllerName?
Seems that some of the View HTML helpers are missing. No HTML::script().
Route::resource('tasks', 'TasksController') doesn't seem to create named routes. This is a big deal, if not. What's the solution?
