Why is this the right PHP course for you?

This is the most complete and in-depth PHP course on Udemy (and maybe the entire internet!). It's an all-in-one package that will take you from the very fundamentals of PHP, all the way to building modern applications.

You will learn modern PHP from the very beginning, step-by-step. I will guide you through practical and fun code examples, important theory about how PHP works behind the scenes, and a beautiful and complete project.

You will become ready to continue learning advanced back-end frameworks like Symfony, Laravel, Code Igniter, or Slim.

You will also learn how to think like a developer, how to plan application features, how to architect your code, how to debug code, and a lot of other real-world skills that you will need in your developer job.

And unlike other courses, this one actually contains beginner, intermediate, advanced, and even expert topics, so you don't have to buy any other course in order to master PHP from the ground up!

By the end of the course, you will have the knowledge and confidence that you need in order to ace your job interviews and become a professional developer.
