PHP From Scratch | Beginner To Advanced (Udemy.com)

Brad (the instructor) goes over each concept incrementally, building the student's understanding in a structured way that reinforces the underlying concepts and gives the student sufficient time to familiarize themselves before advancing the course material.

Amazing course, I have learned a lot from it. One of very few instructors that really explains the topic. I have watched the entire course at 2 x the speed and followed it step by step to completion and still managed to understand almost 90% of the course. One suggestion, which I am sure many will feel the same way, can you create a scenario/case based course that more focused on entrepreneur that takes them from the planning, sizing, pricing, etc... sort of to help prepare someone taking these courses with objective to work for oneself. A very well done, keep it going - I will follow your courses

This is an excellent course. I have searched Udemy and enrolled on a few, but this is the best I have found. You can tell Brad has used PHP a lot. The course content, which includes starter and finished files, is excellent too.

Everything is clear and accessible. But the routing system seems a little strange to me. I am used to 'get' and 'set' methods (getters and setters) being used to get and assign values to object properties. Here, they are used to register routes, which is somewhat misleading. These methods do practically nothing and can easily be replaced: $router->get('/listings', 'ListingController@index'); with $router->registerRoute('GET', '/listings', 'ListingController@index'); The route method also looks strange and is not very efficient with looping through all routes in foreach. Why not just put all the routes in an associative array?

Great course with everything you need to know to start developing production ready apps, the workopia project can be quite tough to fully grasp all the inner workings but a bit of challenge is always a good thing

The first part of the course about the foundations of PHP is good and he make everything pretty clear. About the second part, I feel like the organization is a bit chaotic, even though, everything is clearly explained and this MVC "mini-framework" seems like a good starting point to learn Laravel now. Thanks for the course!

I really learnt a lot from this course, and I consider it easy to follow. I especially like the idea of building a real project to see how all the different parts fit together. Although, I plan to work more with Laravel, I always like to learn concepts from first principles.

The content is pretty good and taught well, however, the videos, starting in the Functions section would just stop playing randomly. I would have to refresh my page and it sometimes worked and sometimes it didn't and would just come back on it's own. I know it wasn't me, because I wasn't even touching the keyboard when it would happen. It was just frustrating and caused delays. But again, the content was pretty good.

A really nice couse!

Brad Traversy is a great tutor and explains everything he does in the code (and more). It was nice to see the total route from basic language syntax to deploying the site in production. A few things were a bit difficult to understand for me, because I was unaware of the underlying architector for websites. All in all another excellent course by Brad.
