#Middleware in Laravel 5
Middleware is a powerful feature of Laravel 5. In this talk, we'll briefly cover what middleware is, it's place in the Laravel lifecycle, and how to create it. Then we'll look at some real-world, in-production use cases that demonstrate the appropriate use of middleware to examine incoming requests, and situations where you might modify the out-going response headers or body content. Finally, you'll learn some use-cases where not to use middleware, and how to test it.

Overall good, but you can make the ideas clearer by stating things more succinctly. It probably sounds obvious to say, but people are coming for what they can learn, so phrasing things on those terms can be more powerful. Example:
"In this talk, you'll learn what middleware is and how to create it. We'll go through real-world use cases to help you understand where middleware is appropriate, and where it isn't."
Also, I didn't really understand the 'bonus' call-out. I'd either explain why it special or just say you have 4.
