it`s very good

By Oriol Ferrer on

Est bien aunque es un poco antiguo y el cdigo que proveen falla por todas partes porque usa funciones deprecadas. Se debera actualizar.

Bastante repetitivo.Se explica demasiadas veces que se ver en los captulos.

No ... I had to waste time trying to get the sweetscomplete site to actually work, as it is using now deprecated php apis for mysql.CAPTCHA explanation was confusing ... discussing "how to create a CAPTCHA" and then just showing code for file handling, and later showing the code that actually generated the CAPTCHA.As presented, there is no obvious difference between Reflected and Stored XSS. Had to look that up elsewhere.

I have learned great things about security that will help me in future projects, regarding SQL and site vulnerabilities.The instructor managed to be short but rather explanatory. I liked the fact that he explained so many things in such a little time.

Sources for the test's site works only with the very old PHP5. There isn't a PHP7 version and there isn't any support from the teacher. I don't want to lose my time to convert it. The only help comes from other students.....

The course is outdated (probably with no chance of being refreshed) and the instructor doesn't answer student questions

By Ken Richmond on

I love this course. It provides insight into how hackers exploit vulnerabilities to gain access to a web site and then gives demos and labs to help secure the site from these vulnerabilities. Course was well thought out and I love having the test website to practice breaking and patching web vulnerabilities.

The course is really good, the instructor explains the several concepts involved with secure PHP development. But I noticed that the most of the questions posted on Q&A section were not answered, so indicates that the instructor is not worried about if the students are really learning or not the contents.

By Amit Prasad on

This course is very well done in terms of its materials. A lot of important information is provided in an easy to understand format. The video and audio are of high quality. However, it seems that the instructor is reading a script and may not be a PHP expert himself (I may be wrong about the latter). He just keeps listing what's clearly provided in the code and on the demos. There is little value added of his presence in terms of tips and insights. This makes the course quite boring and slightly cumbersome.

By Tony Sutton on

This is a great course for site operators and developers alike.The only way to protect your site from remote attack, is to first understand how they occur, and then follow through with hardening your security settings and code.Good Job!

If you have a basic understanding of php and MySQL but need to make sure your code is secure then this is a great course. Especially if you have completed the previous course "PHP & MySQL - Learn The Easy Way".I was able to use the information on validation straight away to help improve my website contact forms.
