Great class! I like that the teacher is on the screen as he teaches, it helps to follow along. Almost feels like you are actually in a classroom. I have some experience with PHP, but I can say that have learned a few things I didn't know before. Pleasant surprise that the course is half as long as it says it is because he redid all of his videos to keep up with our changing times. Wish there was quizzes or coursework to test what you've learned along the way, but other than that great!

There is always space for improvement, even though I don't see it. Typically this one star that is missing is due to the platform the course is on (or my incapability to see some features), it would be of much help if we would receive files with examples and homework for every function or group of functions we learn.

This course was exactly what I was looking for! Because I'm not happy with the direction of WordPress (Gutenberg), I converting some of my more basic WP sites to php/html/css/js. This was the perfect training to get me started on the php I'll need. In fact, after taking this course I have a very clear understanding of how to use php to template out my sites and move forward with my plans. Thank you John Elder!
