Even as of 2022, PHP continues to drive a significant portion of the web. Node is currently what's popular, and before that Ruby was the big thing, but during it all PHP never died.

And not only has PHP never died, it has aged like a fine bottle of wine; continuing to evolve and grow with a strong community backing it.

In this course, you'll be learning the foundational blocks that make up PHP

  • Project setup and structure
  • Variables and constants
  • Features and gotchas of the type system
  • Advanced conditional logic
  • Data structures
  • Loops and other control flows
  • Functions and scope
  • Object oriented programming with classes

Once you finish this course you'll have all the skills you'll need to effectively write PHP!

    It's good but we need Wordpress spesific PHP course. Using PHP with Wordpress is a whole another story than using PHP in other projects.

    I've not had a deep understanding of classes. This was a great foundation for me to continue. I am now looking for training further skills with PHP.
