Write PHP Like a Pro: Build a PHP MVC Framework From Scratch (Udemy.com)

Dave is a good instructor, he explains the code in clear and good way in terms of how and why. I'm learning a lot from this course, I'm not just following up on his code but I can also write my code in my own way or understanding, in other words he opens my mind on some part of PHP that I was aware of. Thanks Dave. I'm rating four and half stars as I'm still learning, I will rewrite my review at the end of the course and rate 5 stars as I can see that I can now tackle my first project using OOP from mr Hollingworth. I didn't waste my money but I used it for the best.

Although the course is just 6 hours in length, it stands out as an exceptional resource for learning PHP frameworks. The explanations are thorough, the coding practices are clean and precise, and the course is logically structured, making it easy to follow. It’s packed with valuable knowledge that can be immediately applied, leaving a strong impression. The course also adopts a modern approach to teaching, which makes it even more relevant and effective for today’s developers. Overall, I am extremely impressed with the quality of this course.

I just want to say... my mind is blown away! it's still going to take some time to fully get the grasp of this framework. Seeing the Router and Controller work right before my eyes... priceless!!! I'll continue my review as I progress through the course.

Dave is a great knowledgeable tutor, that really helps students and replys quickly to questions even if he pretentiously speaks like a robot...just speak normal man - I have to use 1.5 speed, but the strange pauses and wierd emphasis is jarring! I have major issues with unnecessary 3rd party inclusions - seriously change the name of this course, or re-do it in basic PHP. I want to know the MVC pattern in pure PHP, even if its just basic 'helloworld' functionality that I can adapt to my own projects, but I did not want to have to install any 3rd party librarys for this, 3rd party templates for that, 3rd party frameworks... blah blah blah. I will watch course a second/third time to see if I can pick up the intent and implement it myself in php..running the risk that I make a mess of it because its not explained so good via php, and I am a beginner in both. However, having tried two different courses for php MVC, this is definitely the most difficult to follow because it incorperates advanced concepts of implementing MVC , but I think in a good way it is done in a very professional manner and the results are very professional after the work and headscratching are over. I have now incorperated this MVC and taken bits of the other course I thought were neat solutions and added them to this, rather than the other way around.

The great course. still working on PHP 7.4

It's a very good course and teacher. One problem for me is, that the teacher only follows **exactly** one path. You put everything in one file each and you do camerCase or WhatWasThatNameCase, nothing else. I'm not that much a fan of these strict followings of one way..

I'm very impressed with this course so far. It's the perfect level (I just learned OOP PHP, after using procedural for a fair while), and am interested in other MVC frameworks, but really need this base understanding first.
Dave's style is exceptional - the byte sized video chunks are a good length (for someone like me with a short attention span) and his simplified (yet non-patronising) way of explaining everything makes it very easy to follow concepts that are potentially quite complicated and difficult to understand usually.

A great course teaching the MVC framework concept. The course is a little outdated as far as the templating engine setup goes but it is very easy to work out how to set Twig 3 up from the website. I also took the framework and as a project made the Latte template engine work. This is a very easy to understand course and highlights some great areas of web development using MVC. Its great that you end up with a very simplistic framework rather than working through the many other tutorials that bog you down learning
unnecessary mamouth details. If you are looking to clarify your MVC knowledge this is a great course. I only knocked half a point off as it could be updated slightly to avoid confusion with the template engine install.

this is so on point, it is insane. thank you for creating a perfect course.

Perfect, from start to finish!

Excellent!
