Course Description
Do you want to start with web development and specifically Back-End? Have you ever thought about learning PHP but you don't know how and where to start? Are you currently a web developer and want to quickly get into PHP? If your answer is "yes", then you are in for a treat, because in this course, I packed my knowledge and experience of years of PHP. So after this course, you can feel comfortable working with PHP. The course is highly dedicated to those people who want to get into PHP and start with it in no time. We will start working with the basic fundamentals of PHP like "echo statements", "comments" and stuff like that up to the intermediate level and then to the advanced parts like "super globals", "date and time" and so on.
The other part of the course is very simple yet practical crucial and useful and that is "building a todolist with PHP and MySQL". and in it, I am going to walk you through the process of building this little app, so you can apply what you have learned. I am also going to show you how to think and analyze in terms of code and this will unlock your potential as a programmer and allow you to get out of the tutorial hell which kills every programmer's possibility of getting ahead.
The course also contains material such as code snippets and source codes for the project applied and quizzes and so on. if you are ready to take this journey with me, then go ahead and take this course.

Amazing course and well delivered. The instructor is knowledgeable and quite versed in the PHP programming language.

The course is very good to have a hands on PHP. But I have a suggestion that, during the course there is coding exercise . it gives "you passed the code" message even if the code is wrong. Please have a look on it. Thank you! Apart from this, the overall content is easy to understand. Thank you sir.

It was certainly an enlightening experience, Got to learn some new things that I previously was not aware off because of how I had to learn PHP the first time. Much appreciated I certainly cruised through this course and found it enjoyable and not boring.

The first 12 sections were great; very clear and concise. I was able to follow easily and took notes that will be great for future reference. Section 13 was not for beginners and a bit overwhelming. A lot more explanation is needed about the PDO functions and syntax. There should be a single course on PHP and databases, connections and queries.

wow this is a great course! it's my first approaching to PHP and Back-end :) It have been very useful for me, indeed, i will work as a back-end developer so i really appreciate this content... five stars!

I just liked all the course, the concepts were clear and the sections to practise the coding were a good complement.

это хороший курс для тех, кто еще не сталкивался с данным языком и хочет быстро получить краткий обзор возможностей. Хотелось бы чуть большей степени обработанности записанных видео - обрезать ненужные части, не тратить время на создание файлов, их открытие, если это не требуется в образовательных целях в первый раз - можно ведь сделать это заранее. Так же хотелось бы чуть больше объяснений в части PDO. В остальном лектор молодец, разжевывал каждую тему. Рекомендую курс новичкам
