Description

The PHP Programming Language is one of the most POPULAR Web Development Programming Languages for a reason. In this course I'll show you why!

Built For The Absolute Beginner

You don't need any prior knowledge of coding or web development to take this course. We'll download all the tools you'll need for free, and I'll walk you through setting them up. Then we'll dive right in and start learning the PHP language.

You'll Be Amazed How Quickly You Can Pick Up PHP!

We'll start out with basic programming concepts, things like:

PHP Syntax

Variables

Data Types

Math Operators

Assignment Operators

Comparison Operators

Increment/Decrement Operators

Then we'll ease into more Intermediate topics, things like:

If Else Statements

While Loops

For Loops

ForEach Loops

Indexed Arrays

Associative Arrays

Looping Through Arrays

We'll Build A Quick FizzBuzz App

Functions

After that we'll learn about basic web development concepts, things like:

Including PHP On a Web Page

Adding Things To A Web Page Using Require_Once

Understanding Web Forms

Processing Form Data With PHP

Form Security

Building a Bootstrap Navbar With PHP

And More!


QUICK AND TO THE POINT!

Why take a course with 37 hours of lectures? In just 2 hours you can learn the basics all the way through Intermediate PHP. Technically Functions are considered an advanced topic, so we even touch on some advanced stuff in this course (but just a little bit).

This is the course for you if you're interested in becoming a web developer and maybe don't know where to start. It's also great if you're already a front end developer, but want to add some serious skills to your tool belt. Since PHP powers Wordpress, this course is also great if you'd like to really customize your Wordpress sites (we don't discuss wordpress in this course, but if you understand PHP, you can understand what's going on behind the scenes in Wordpress just by diving into the code and checking it out on your own).
