This guys HAS to do MORE. Great teacher, step by step explanations of what he's doing and why. Simplified to give a simple method of doing a "slightly complicated at first" task.

Very good content.

Maybe I'm the wrong level fore this. I'm having a really hard time following along with this because I'm not being given a chance to code along. I'm just copying new files over and not really understanding what's happening.

Fantastic. Hollingworth delivers the product. Unlike the last four Udemy courses I've taken, this code works. Perfectly. My best Udemy course so far.

I am using PHP in a traditional way in 2 yrs already and mastered the basics. And this course is a good start up to level up into advance using OOP approach. What I gained from is very helpful improving my existing PHP websites. :)

PHPass is pretty old, PHP5 has password_hash() / password_verify() nowdays

A really good course!!!What's make's it perfect is the fast responses from the instructor.Really worth it!

Dave does a good job.

This is easily one of the clearest and most straight forward course I've taken on here. Very engaging and well put together.The instructor doesn't waste time with a lengthy introduction video; there are no messy and distracting umms and ahhs; he doesn't waste time going off on tangents.You just get a streamlined and informative course on developing your own auth app, which is split into bite size pieces that you can either burn through quickly to get the result, or review multiple times to actually learn what is happening.Thanks heaps Dave!

Instructor was very clear and detailed in his explanations. Excellent follow up as seen by the Q&A section. He sticks with students until problem solved. Learned a lot by progressing through the course. Mike

The technical process is a bit heavy at the beginning, but as you go along, the concepts get clearer.

Very good teacher! It's easy to follow him, and I've learnt a lot about object oriented php! If I could I'd give you 6 stars out of 5! THANK YOU DAVE!!!
