PHP for Beginners (Udemy.com)

Clear and concise. Information packed. A great reference resource you can come back to again and again. Fast paced, not really a code along course.

Amazing course! A well structured and detailed course gives an in-depth knowledge and explanations in clear and concise manner. Each and every section helps to learn PHP programming in an easy way. Dave's teaching style is excellent which helps you understanding the programming concept clearly. Looking forward to more such courses. Thanks for this wonderful course.

What can I say? Dave is clear, concise, knowledgeable and responds in a timely manner. Dave's explanations are on point, even though the concepts can sometimes tricky to understand. There was a point on this course when I really began to understand how to implement and design my own code. 10/10, would recommend to anyone who wants to learn PHP.

Bardzo dobry kurs, jak sama nazwa dla pocztkujcego. Cho ju programuje od jakiego czasu to mimo to dowiedziaem si kilku ciekawych rzeczy choby jak poprawnie zadba o obsug bdw w kodzie. Polecam pocztkujcym i osobom ktre ju co wiedz, a chc uporzdkowa sobie wiedz. Nie do koca pasuje mi "wrzucanie" kodu przez instruktora cho to zdecydowanie przyspiesza kurs, ale przy wikszych porcjach zmian w kodzie ciko jest ledzi wszystkie zmiany.

This is definitely one of the best PHP courses I have taken, the concepts are explained clearly and the project includes most of what has been taught in the whole course. Thanks Dave for this amazing course!

Having programmed websites for the past five years in PHP and Codeigniter, I would not call myself a beginner by any means. However, I decided that I wanted to become a better programmer. After taking the Write PHP Like a Pro course, I decided that I wanted to build my own framework and so I decided that I would take this one. This course starts off for beginners then quickly moves (I think) into the intermediate stage. I say this because it is unlike any beginners level course in PHP I have seen or taken. Thanks, guys!

I think this is a really solid, succinct course that helped me understand the basics of PHP development. Having a tangible end product that you work to throughout the course is fabulous.The only problem I had is how quickly it moves when essential steps are being taken. For example, editing multiple elements all at once proved to be frustrating for me. The instructor says something along the lines of "now we have to change all of these to X" and they are instantly changed or large blocks of necessary code are cut and past very quickly. I would frequently have to pause the video and back up. Not the worst thing ever but just some feedback.

This was an excellent begginers course in PHP and with a nice introduction to other technologies and languages such as JavaScript (with JQuery and Ajax) and HTML/CSS. Dave delivered everything clearly and to the point without bogging it down wth more complex details that are better suited for more advanced courses. We were pointed to all the places to get the resources and where there were more doc's and info. The end result is a nice little CMS blog app and all the code as a reference point. I wrote all the code by hand and only really used the resources to check things if I needed, which was surpisingly not that often.All the courses resources and code are added and follow each lecture at the specific stage. Being a video, it was easy to pause and go back on things if unsure and with each lesson in the sections bite sized, you could go back over anything you were unclear of without feeling like having to trowl through long videos to find bit you needed to repeat or re-look over (I am aware of bookmarks, but don't need them as each lesson covers a specific bite-sized aspect).I have a few more of thier courses on ice and feel that when I decide to tackle them I will get another good experience.I hardly had to used the Q&A, in fact I think the only thing I posted was to just point out the only mistake I came across which was a missing letter on one word in one lesson title. This was responded to very quickly and the word updated as quickly. A couple of times I wanted to ask a question, but this was already answered in the Q&A so no need to eaven ask stuff for me.So well done for a well structured and developed course. I have tried others, some good and some really lacking in comparison. All the stars from me :)

The course was very enlightening. I enjoyed the structure and the build upon previous concepts idea used.

Overall, I find this course quite good and helpful. One point of criticism: It's a bit hard to follow the code sometimes because it goes quite quickly and because the code becomes very expansive and builds on previous code. Since we're not writing the code as a student, it's hard to keep track of what part of the code is doing what. Making the code available helps, but doesn't resolve the issue entirely for me. I'm not sure as to how you might address this issue further.

Dave is the best teacher by far, hands down, slam dunk. You get the idea. He is very helpful, very prompt in responding and his responses are really informative and not just to "going through the motions" like other teachers. He even gives you references to increase your knowledge. He really goes the extra mile to help his students. It is incredible where he gets his dedication, enthusiasm and energy. He will even help you with some questions outside the course but I try to not abuse it. I am looking forward to other courses he will offer in the future.

Moving fast, learning much. "Zero" to "website" in days to weeks but with modular knowledge that builds and is flexible. Not just, "follow as I say exactly" with no true understanding.
