Course Description

Infinite scrolling is a web-design technique that loads content continuously as the user scrolls down the page, eliminating the need for pagination.  This technique popular is used on many websites and this course will show you how to build one yourself from scratch.

Best of all this course provides a great learning experience on how to develop an API that can return database content into the front end.  Learn how to combine technologies and the steps needed to plan out the building of applications. Explore how you can use AJAX to send requests to a server API returning content in a JSON format to be added to your web page content.

Prerequisites to this course include working knowledge of jQuery, JavaScript and PHP.  We cover the aspects of the languages needed to create the API endpoint and to query the endpoint for data.

One of the best ways to learn programming is by projects and this project is perfect since it combines the use of multiple technologies within one application so that students get a real world experience. 

  • Learn how to setup the structure of your web application
  • Find out about creating a PHP database connection
  • Create a simple PHP application to populate the database with lorem ipsum text
  • Explore how an API works outputting content from the MySQL database into JSON format
  • Use PHP code to build a customized JSON output
  • Explore how easy it is to make AJAX requests with jQuery
  • Use JavaScript to detect scroll and more
  • Assemble your HTML page dynamically
  • Examine how web applications are built

Source Code is included to get you started quickly.

Well for me the content was if not a lot, at least a bit valuable The overviews given by instructor is a nice addition I think that the frontend could be improved and explaination about concepts could be added a tad more.....

Great beginner course, if you are familiar with PHP and MySQL. It was easy to avoid long debuggin, cause it frustrates a newbie quite a lot, thanks to a helppful reviews.

Pretty good, but there is a point where i spent half a day trying to fix a problem with the code and after i gave up and went to the next part in the course i saw he fixed the error in his code with no mention of it at all. It was on the Output API contents.PHP part and the mistake was, before: $result = $mysqli->query($query); after: $result = $link->query($query);

Il corso non è male per capire la struttura API interfacciate tra AJAX e PHP, eppure un grave errore su $_POST mai corretto nel codice porta ad un malfunzionamento della mini app. Ottimo se vi serve un'idea delle basi API, pessimo sul far finta che l'errore non esista.

outdated and bad practices for real development.

By Michał Gorczyca on 2/10/2020

Tak, zainteresował mnie, chociaż miałem problemy ze zrozumieniem niektórych zagadnień co wynikało z małej wiedzy z zakresu programowania backendowego. krótki czas trwania poszczególnych lekcji na plus, ponieważ pozwalał dokładnie się przyjrzeć każdej linijce kodu i omówieniu go. Jednak do pełnego zrozumienia kursu trzeba mieć podstawową wiedzę wykorzystywanego zakresu materiału.

source code needs a improvement since it outputs error. Please specify the version of php, mysql and apache or xampp version details.

By Joaquín Álvarez Camino on 10/26/2019

Very interesting course. The subject is well explained. I learned some tools useful for web development a nd finally I had the oportunity to apply the infinite scroll logic in an aplication in my job. Very useful!

By Anonymized User on 3/20/2018

Great feature, will help in the long term. The repeated requests do end up resetting my connection, which take the webpage down for a moment, so I am going to have a little more work until I have it where i want it

By Anonymized User on 7/16/2017

Was a good tutorial for a very basic introduction to using an api, good refresher on a basic ajax call with a cool function for infinite scroll. Takes no time at all to complete. The main thesis is on the ajax call and the php file that it calls to. Do not expect to learn api's. This is not a api tutorial or how to strucutre code for api backend. Simple put "a good function to call within your own code to create infinite scroll".
