Adding Foundation 5 to Laravel 4 - laravel-4

I have been looking into Foundation 5 and would like to implement it in a project I have been building with Laravel 4. Would I be able to use Composer to add Foundation to Laravel or would the two not function properly? Or would there be another way to combine the two? I'm still new to Laravel and am very new to Foundation so any insight on this would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Yeah, you can use Foundation 5 and Laravel 4 together. Since Foundation is a front-end framework and Laravel is a back-end framework, I don't see any reasons for them not to function together. You don't need Composer to install Foundation for Laravel, but there seems to be some packages on http://packagist.org/ that you can pull via Composer.
There's a short tutorial here:http://roxinlabs.com/2014/01/integrate-laravel-and-foundation-css-framework/ explaining how to use Foundation 5 with Laravel 4.

How to creating an app with Laravel + EmberJS

I need to create an app using EmberJS 2.18 for the frontend and Laravel ^6.0 for the backend. I found a guide (here: https://culttt.com/2015/04/06/getting-started-with-laravel-and-ember/) but it's 5 years old and after following its advice it referred to directories that don't exist so I couldn't complete it and I don't know how to check if it's working.
I have zero experience with either framework and I'm trying to piece this all together. Is there an easy to follow tutorial for how to set this up?

Laravel 5.2 & Angular 2 CRUD Example

I am new to Angular2 & want to integrate it into my existing Laravel App built with Laravel 5.2, I have searched for an efficient example with the same but no luck, Can any one help me with it?
I would like to have a basic CRUD example with Laravel 5.2 & Angular2[not the beta version].
Thanks in advance!
The best practice would be to use Laravel and Angular decoupled as separate applications with the Angular front end just consuming the Laravel exposed services. You can achieve that by checking examples and tutorials dedicated for each in part (interfacing via JSON/XML/etc.).
Here are some repositories to exemplify such integration:
https://github.com/Nightwhistle/Laravel5-Angular2-Material
https://github.com/softdevelop/Laravel5.3-Angular2-CRUD-Demo

Upgrade to Laravel 5 or use 4

I am new to Laravel and I have started making an authentication system using Laravel 4. Now should I upgrade it to Laravel 5 as there are a lot of new features or should I continue using Laravel 4?
I would say upgrade right now. You might end up upgrading later or continue to write code for things that laravel 5 provides out of box. Just imagine upgrading at a later stage when there are other things to break as well.

Using Laravel 4 package on Laravel 3

I would like to use FbF/Laravel-Blog package which is for Laravel 4 on my site that is made on Laravel 3. Updating the site from Laravel 3 to Laravel 4 is not an option. The site installed manually not by using composer.
I tried to install the package manually and the first issue was with routes which I believe are using some Laravel 4 specific format.
I would just like to know if its realistic idea to use Laravel 4 package on top of Laravel 3 and how much porting work could be expected?
Laravel 3 bundles and Laravel 4 composer packages are entirely different animals.
You need to dig deep into the Laravel 4 package and rewrite it to the Laravel 3 specification. Needs considerable effort as you need to make sure you understand developing packages for both technologies.
