Object Orientation in PHP (Udemy.com)

This is really working for me. Everybody learns differently, and this course is firing on all cylinders for me.

The first 4 (theoretical) sections of the course a very good. But I've missed anything on namespaces and Design Patterns. The 5th (practical) section part was pretty useless and time wasting to me. It's not practical at all. I had to go through all of the 1,5 hours (2x speed) to watch 10-15 useful minutes. But total PHP noobs might like also the 5th section.

I find Lawrence seems to have a way of getting all those hard to understand subjects over in a fairly easy to understand way. I did go into this course knowing a bit about OOP but this is so much more. Not only do I have a much deeper understanding of the OOP subject matter, I also Iearnt about analysis and design concepts too, and even discovered UML, which I have to confess to never having come across before! I previously took the Javascript Basics course from Lawrence and felt I should buy at least one of his courses to help support him. I'm not disappointed, well worth the money. Once again, thanks Lawrence.

I think this was an excellent course with a great overall introduction to OOP practices. The review of objects, UML, and design made this unique. The instructor did an amazing explanation with plenty of examples to illustrate OOP principles in PHP. With the extensive work the instructor did in manually testing all his classes, I think he could make an excellent class in unit testing. I would consider purchasing a class such as that which even just repeated all that he did using one of the testing frameworks. It could be an excellent example of test driven development. Thank you!

This was definitely the best video tutorial I have seen so far. Lawrence has put a lot of effort into this high quality course. Everything is explained in detail and at a perfect pace. Lawrence is a great teacher and by the way, he did not stutter one single time throughout this 5 hour course, which I find impressive. He knows what he is talking about and has every example prepared very well. I have learned a lot, and enjoyed it. Well worth the money.

This is a great addition for anyone who may be confused about Object Oriented Programming. It serves as a review or as an introduction to the subject. With the exception of the last section which uses PHP for lab work, 95% of the course is language agnostic, which means that it does not matter if your goal is to learn PHP, Java, TypeScript, or even Go or Python. The course is a great help and it is quickly done. The instructor is brilliant and his graphic skills really help visualize the topic. Being enrolled in almost 200 courses, I can count with my fingers the ones I totally finish. This is one of them. No buyers remorse. Thank you.

I've done a fair share of online courses and video tutorials (got my degree at o'reilly), did team tree house etc.etc. this is by far the best tutorial i've come across, basically satisfying to watch. This guy explains stuff better than Khan academy. If all programming courses were like this I think everyone would be a programmer.

When you look for taking a cours, you have an objective in mind. It may be to absorb the general substance of a subject or it may be learning the particular aspects of it. This cours teachs the later, which is why I chose it between many others. It all comes in your own way of learning, some people learn better going from the particular to the general, on the contrary some others can only learn the opposite way, that is to say from the general and abstract to the particular one. I fall in this last cathegory, this is why I give five stars, it corresponds to what I need. Plus the explanations are brilliant and very reachable for begginners.

A good beginner level course, overall. Loved the explanation of the general concept of "object orientation" and the UML examples and usage throughout the course. Both helped to get a better grasp on how to decide what should constitute a class. The programming examples did serve to demonstrate the concepts discussed. However, I withheld that last star because I felt that the code could have been a bit more robust and the resulting software more useful. Obviously, writing a full, robust banking application would be a lot to expect from this kind of course, but even a simple app, like a game or utility, that the participant could run and interact with would be more satisfying and would demonstrate that "this stuff actually works."

This instructor has an uncanny ability to breakdown complex programming ideas into simple to understand concepts that finally made sense to me! I found this course to be 80% about OOP, which was great! Since I want to able to learn about the big picture of Object Orientation Analysis, Design and Programming! The instructor notes that the big concepts of OOP and UML diagram tool will work for with all the newer languages, such as Java, Python, etc. and this course's application is not limited only to PHP! It covered UML , which alone is worth the price this course. My main programming focus is to learn Python (not PHP) and this course filled in the big gap in learning the most difficult part for me, which was the OOP as well as bringing up the important concepts of OOP - Object Orientated Analysis & Design! Which most of the Python courses I have taken only mention OOP in a very short and brief manner that leaves me even more confused! Overall, this course is filled with wonderful information that will make me a better knowledgeable and a well-rounded programmer in Python or any other language I choose to learn in the future. Thank you Lawrence for sharing your knowledge! Rafael Gonzalez.
