Top Python and PHP Programming Bundle (Udemy.com)

Unbelievably basic. Narrator style was very grating "This is COOL", "It's AMAZING", etc. especially when it wasn't

Not a new programmer. So basic, yes. I will reevaluate after more chapters...

Nice intro and overview. A bit rushed towards the end. Could definitely use some in-depth expansion on certain important subject like 'Classes' and definitely some more examples. Good touch with the coupon code.

Thank you, John! This was an amazing course. I'm just trying to learn as many new things as I can, and this was the perfect two in one course!

The Python section of the course was shorter than I expected and it left me wanting more. While it explained the logic behind Python, it was short on application. I reached out to John Elder for next steps, and he suggested a course on django, which I also purchased. I have not started it yet, but I'm sure John's initial instruction will carry me a long way. The php section of the course made up for the shortcomings of the Python lessons. I tried learning php before, but it wasn't clicking. John's php course turned most of the lights on for me by building an actual webpage. Since I have worked with HTML/CSS quite a bit, it was very enlightening to see how php enhances and simplifies writing web pages. I can't say enough about the instructor. John Elder was very friendly and approachable when I reached out to him via email, something I appreciate more than anything. His teaching style is more like having somebody in the room with you rather than on a video... somebody that occasionally trips over his own tongue or admits to not being real sure how or why something works. In other words, it's like being taught by a real human being rather than through a scripted, edited and polished lecture.

The course is well explained in the portion covered but I was expecting the lecturer to provide more practical examples about each data types for example. Also there is a little bit of rush I will say. The proof is each section last 5 minutes the most. The course is also incomplete.

Depending on my progress at the end of the course, I may edit my rating: I gave this course 5 stars, here is why: The presenter is well paced in his explanations, is pleasant to listen to and presents relevant information. I've so far been able to reproduce what I've learned and I feel that I've gained more than my investment in knowledge. The presenter provides relevant information and opportunities to test your knowledge. His narration is easy to listen to, (think Edward Norton with too much coffee).

very clear, only I had a little struggle during the terminal part being a total newbie using mac

An excellent course to understand the basics of python(wouldn't comment on the php part of the course since haven't done that yet but i am sure it's great!) As the course description says it is the basics of python and as with any language an online course will online touch the surface of it but it helps you get a 'push' towards learning the language. John(the instructor) is very good at teaching and delivering content. His method of teaching kept me interested all along. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to have a peek a python!

I am not very good with programming. Took this course due to a test coming up. This instructor helped me with both php and python.
