Learn Object Oriented PHP By Building a Complete Website (Udemy.com)

This course is exactly what I wanted! I started coding a year ago with html, css, javascript and then began php and procedural mysql commands. When I learnt about frameworks, I knew that I must learn about OOP and PDO. And this is the best course out there. I have finished the entire course. The MVC structure is explained in a very straight forward manner. Initially I found Classes difficult to understand and went slow. But as I followed through the course, I started to understand the whole structure and the logic behind MVC. It's a pleasant and challenging learning experience. Many thanks, Brad.

Sections One, Two and Three were a nice reminder/refresher and they wen't over the basics, I think they were well put together. Sections four, five and six on the other hand were very confusing. There weren't any explanations provided for the new things that we incorporated in the project, instead the explanations that were in the lectures were for what we already went over in sections 1, 2 and 3 and bootstrap. For example I still don't understand how exactly do we "require($view);" in main.php. (I think it was in lecture 27) $view is a local variable inside a method, why do we have access to it.

It could have been really good. The course makes some of the same basic mistakes as most "zero to hero" type comprehensive courses and is incomplete. It goes from thorough and focused to a rushed code-along to abandoned. As far as the completeness of the website... it leaves off at POST / CREATE, GET / READ in a RESTful / CRUD application and assumes that the student can figure out PUT / EDIT, DELETE, etc... on their own. It's a decent starting point of material - to go out and research on your own.

The instructor is knowledgeable about the topic and knows what he's doing. Only reason why I didn't leave full five stars review is that he's coding the website, but he doesn't explain why he's doing what he's doing. I noticed some other students had the same feeling from this. I believe the lecturer is an amazing coder but if he wants to give something back to the community, he needs to actually teach and explain why he does what he's doing in projects. That's what makes a teacher / lecturer.

i would heartily like to thank the instructor first. Because i got what i need with a brief explanation about the MVC from scratch and what most i like about this instructor is he uses to explain the PHP OOP using really world application not like the cat, dog blah blah. i encourage him to provide more in depth about PHP OOP with other frame works like symfony and laravel. once again thanks.

This course was fun starting out and was the same all the way through. The best OOP PHP course there is and it taught me MVC which was plus since it doesn't even have that in the title of the course. So i learned the 2 things my mentor told me to go out and learn before i could work for him. After this short course, i am now employed under my mentor because it taught me what i needed to know.

I would like to hear more about validation, like how to create separate class to validate data and how to deal with more complicated forms and functionalities on the page, but overall, a GREAT COURSE, I finally know how MVC works. Little note - you should defienietly know some basic php before you start the course, without that it might be hard to understand some of the code even with introduction that is at the begining.

Great course for students with basic PHP to dive into OOP principles and the MVC framework (extremely important if you would like as a backend developer in the real world). Had the project had just a few more extra features like creating an admin page, sorting user shares, or other neat features you are used to seeing in the real world, I would have given this course a 5*. Still a great investment!

Good course, came in knowing a little about MVC... and left with a better understanding of the principals used, and some hands on experience writing code to produce a fun and useful 'real world' project. Now, at times I was forced to research some of the elements discussed/used in this course by myself, to get a deeper understanding of what was going on... And by doing so, I learned a lot from this course overall. I hope this review is useful.

I finally finished the course. I'll revise and give five stars now . I was a novice user of php before this course and I could barely follow up cause there were functions and stuff that were not explained properly so I couldn't understand. But this eventually worked better for me because I stopped the video in each of these stuff and break them down until I had a better picture. It's better if you get your hands dirty. I'd say this course is totally a 'From zero to hero' course. Apart from the OOP approach I learned many many other things too. Thank you Brad! Great Job..!!!! P.S.: I just got a new job because of this course. :D :D
