The best tutorial I have seen by far. Great presentation. feedback and organisation of all the contents so far. Excellent , excellent, excellent.

My 3rd clone course from Reece, I'll give him another full score. Final website is well fledged and covered a great deal of useful features, lessons are well structured and efficient. And the way I see it, he answers every single question posted in details on a daily basis. Overall, very efficient and practical course for intermediate/advanced students, and can be held as a future course to take for beginners.

This is an awesome course to take that results in a very good Youtube clone written in extremely DRY object orientated PHP code. Not suitable for complete beginners though, you will be completely lost unless you have at least some PHP experience.

Love the course - Overall great experience - In my situation I lacked basic PHP knowledge which is widely used in this course so felt a bit overwhelmed by the huge amount of info.

its awesome and the instructor is super active......the course is hard but, sir will make it easy for you

Amazing course! I took a lot of programming classes so far, but this course was definitely the best. Reece explains everything in great detail and always helps super fast. Thanks for this course!

I loved this course. Reece is a wonderful instructor. I have enjoyed all of his courses so far.

Brilliant course!!!!. There is a lot to learn from this course. Explanations are short and straight to the point. Hands-on coding(No pasting of code from nowhere).I highly recommend this course. Nevertheless, ensure you have some experience in object-oriented php.

There are valuable things in the course that I appreciate, such as an introduction to FFmpeg etc, but this guy is going crazy using functions and classes all over the place for no real reason.A course for beginners where he makes a function to create a form and within that form function each form element has its own function within the class just to add an input line to the form? That is beyond ridiculous, especially in the context of simply delivering what was promised which is an introduction to how to build a video uploading site.

A wonderful way to brush up skills.

var course;if(Reece) {course = `${awesome}`;}:-)

The course in general is very good. The instructor understand the material and explains in basic detail what he's doing at each step. It's thoughtfully presented and enjoyable. Still, there is room for improvement. The basic markup of the pages being built is not semantic, and although this is not a semantic HTML course, it would not take much more time to use "section" or "main" instead of "div" for everything. Many functions are also tightly coupled to some functionality, when work could be greatly reduced by creating a few general functions to handle tasks. One example: instead of functions getID, getName, getViews, etc. there could be a single function getProperty that takes a string and returns the corresponding object property. There are opportunities to DRY up the code used here, and to pass that habit onto students.
