How to code like a professional developer in 30 min a day without feeling lost even if you are a beginner?
Do you know what 99% of php beginners miss when they start?
Many beginners start to learn by themselves, essentially with forums and web sites.
They also use academic courses, which are boring because they are just enumerating the features of the language.
Even here on udemy, some courses are just a copy paste of the php documentation.
What's the use to learn all the functions about arrays if you're not using it now, when you need it?
Of course you learn... and then you forget what you've learnt
From my 10+ experience in teaching, i can tell you it's better when you practice on an useful example. It's better when you struggle first on a problem, and then discover which thing to use.
Also, beginners are not aware of what is coming up as when they start to code. Because when their code is growing, problems arise.
Then they try to fix these bugs. And when the code becomes really a mess, they can't find any practical solution to fix their problems.
Their code becomes more and more complex and when the bugs pop up (they always are), it's a huge amount of energy to fix it.
If only they have known the background of good programming, which prevent the production of such a code, its problems and the i-gonna-throw-this-code-away feeling
So most of beginners learn a lot of things and, in the end, they have a beautiful tool box of php features that they don't know how to use it correctly.
They may feel lost but they start anyway. They start to produce code that weakens the basement of their code structure.
And when they can't manage the code anymore, they feel more lost and they give up.
I don't want this for you.
I want you to learn php features you need to learn
I want you to build strong, bullet proof php program, that will be bugs free and easy to modify to add more features.
This course is a journey through the creation of a PHP application.
You learn, step by step, on a real-life project development.
This course is a training, step by step, which teaches you progressively :
- the php you need to know
- the programing principles the beginners are never taught, and yet that make a strong and sustainable program
At some points, you have quizzes to test your new knowledge.
You have also coding challenges to dive you directly into the code : that's the only way for you to really learn.
These practical exercises make you unleash your full capacities
When you complete your course, you get the cheat sheet which will help you in any of your projects.
Please, have a look to the free lectures available.
I hope to see you to transform you into a professional skilled developer.
