Course Description
What this course is?
This course is universal, meaning that the regular expression material you learn here will be applicable in most if not all regular expression engines.
Of course there will be some variations when we are implementing regular expressions in different engines, let's say PHP over Javascript, but the core fundamentals and how you do regular expression stays the same everywhere.
Regular expressions are also called Regex, Regexp or Regexes, so we will be probably be using this vocabulary since it's easier to pronounce and is what we commonly use in the programming community.
We will learn how to implement regular expressions in Javascript and PHP but these lectures are done for demonstration on how Regexes are used in programming languages.
Who this course is for?
New developers that want to learn regular expressions.
Frustrated developers who had issues learning it before.
Any developer who is serious about their programming career.
Some information about the course structure!
We will start slow with the most basic regular expression functionality, like searching and matching, learning what each of the symbols do and how to use them to do what we need.
After we learn the most basic things, we will start with more complex operations and real worlds solutions. I always try keep the lectures short so that the material is easy to digest.
At the end of every section we are going to have some practice code so that we can re-enforce everything for that section.
See you inside, let's do this!

This is a very good introduction to a topic that for many of is is a mystery and it feels like we need to be initiated into some kind of secret group. I have often wondered about htaccess files, using preg_match functions with email, and other such examples. I totally agree with Edwin that we need to practice, practice, practice. Coding, while rewarding in itself, can be very frustrating. Just typing the code out using the regex tool enables us to test and experiment with code and see the results before implementation. Thanks, Edwin!

Good

The course is nice, did not know how regular expressions worked but I have really improved and have started teaching other people on how they work.

By Bent Winther Jrgensen on 8/23/2020
wanted to get into Regex and with Edwin it was a great start, but because i am a rookie it would have been with some more examples and exercises.
By Michael Farris on 8/8/2020
Excellent course! I went into regex with 0 experience and can now implement patterns for data validation and data extraction.
By Luis Matamoros on 7/26/2020
