APIs in PHP: from Basic to Advanced (Udemy.com)

I sincerely appreciate your efforts and the way you explain the application flows, different auth tokens concepts, and stitch all of them together to build working application example. Your clear and precise teaching style has made this course journey wonderful I really enjoyed through out the course Thanks Dave

Dave, Excellent course. All your courses have been excellent. This was may fourth course. I started out knowing nothing about API'a and JWT's,. Now, I have a much better understanding of API's and JWT's. Thank you for your detailed method of teaching and typing the code as you explain. I found that to be very helpful. And thank you for answering my questions in a timley manner. Cheers, Larry

This was a fantastic course. I have some experience with PHP and in this course I was able to learn in great detail each of the functionalities that were implemented to build an API from scratch. Dave's way of teaching is very detailed with a clear explanation of each concept used. In addition, throughout the course he was always showing the documentation of the PHP functions that he was going to use, as well as the theory of each concept (JWT, HTTP methods, and so on). Thank you Dave for this course, and I will be taking the others soon.

I love this course. Dave's detailed explanations and constant narration while he typed make it incredibly easy to follow and understand. His pace, calm voice, and tone also suit my learning style perfectly. The course's requirements include knowledge of PHP, and I had zero PHP and HTTP knowledge before starting. However, Dave's explanations at every step made it very accessible for me to understand. As a result, I'm confident that I've grasped every aspect of what Dave aimed to teach about RESTful API in PHP. He not only demonstrated the coding process but also emphasized good practices like strict typing and code maintenance. I believe the final code produced in this course will serve as an excellent starting point for my project. Thank you, Dave, for this exceptional course!

If I was to use just one word for Dave, it would be: Methodical! Dave is an EXCEPTIONAL Technology teacher. The guy knows PHP. Nothing is hurried, he is calm, speaks not slow and not fast, eliminating the need for constant rewinds. The course is super organised, building on previous steps. The code is clean, follows best practices.

I have always believed that Dave's courses are deserving of a five-star rating, and I have purchased almost all of his courses. However, as mentioned by other students, it is regrettable that this course lacks a chapter on JWT security. Information security is indeed crucial, and I hope this chapter will be added as soon as possible in the future. Nonetheless, I still believe that Dave is truly the best person to teach PHP. Thank you very much!

Hello Dave, just finished the course. After I saw one of your YouTube tutorials I landed here and was glad, that the journey went on. Took me nearly the whole week to code along but it was worth every minute. Always struggled with PHP and avoided API-stuff in general, sticking to my frontend-developer skills. In your course I learned so many things on every level and got insights I will surely build on. Your way to show every detail and explain everything is much appreciated. No magic moments like "You can look this up in the documentation!"... you just showed the documentation and lifted the veil EVERY time a new command was introduced. Thank you very much. I now lost my fear of PHP and APIs. :-)

TR : Eğitmen bazen hızlı olabiliyor fakat takıldığınız yerde sorduğunuz soruları mümkün olduğunca çabuk cevaplıyor. PHP'de API nasıl kullanılır ve nasıl oluşturulur merak ediyorsanız. Bu kursu alabilirsiniz. EN : The instructor can be quick sometimes, but he answers the questions you ask at the place where you get stuck as quickly as possible. If you are wondering how to use and create API in PHP, you can take this course.

After finished the course, the overall: - it is well organized - Majority of the video are well explained - in case of some thing you dont understand, the instructor will give an answer as soon as possible, in my question he respond within 24h, that was great. But what is missing: - a section about security, like CORS, CRSF, XSS, how you could protect JWTs, where store or not jwt - missing a section about routing ( with or without existing routing lib) and related best practice ( which a web api without good routing system is, to say the least bad in terms of security and organization) - more practical examples with front-end ( vanilla js and some js frameworks would be great)

Very accessible, although some PHP experience is more than recommended. Brilliant and well described, very inspiring. Highly recommend if you wish to develop a strong base for an API with JWT authentication using PHP 8 +. (Although easy to adapt if your infrastructure or clients only support 7.4).
