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.

So what exactly is covered in the course?

  • Build a beautiful real-world project for your portfolio! In this project, you will learn how to plan and architect your applications using flowcharts and common PHP patterns
  • Master the PHP fundamentals: variables, if/else, operators, boolean logic, functions, arrays, objects, loops, strings, and more
  • Learn modern PHP 8 from the beginning: arrow functions, destructuring, spread operator, variadic arguments, nullish coalesing operator, and more
  • Deep dive into object-oriented programming: encapsulation, abstraction, inheritance, and polymorphism. This section is like a small standalone course.
  • Dive deep into design patterns: MVC, singleton pattern, factory pattern, dependency injection, and PSR concepts.
  • Learn modern tools that are used by professional web developers: Composer and Packagist

This is what's also included in the package:

  • Up-to-date HD-quality videos, that are easy to search and reference
  • Downloadable starter code and final code for each section
  • Downloadable free eBook with summaries of the core concepts taught in each section.
  • Free support in the course Q&A
  • Coding challenges with solutions included.

This course is for you if

  • You want to gain a true and deep understanding of PHP
  • You have been trying to learn PHP but still don't really understand PHP, or still don't feel confident to code real apps
  • You are interested in using a library/framework like Symfony, Laravel, Slim, or Code Igniter in the future
  • You already know PHP and are looking for an advanced course. This course includes expert topics!
  • You want to get started with programming, PHP is a great first language!
