Description

Welcome to a PHP crash course! 

This course is meant to be fast paced and quick, but also practical. That means there's a lot of information to absorb, but it's also helpful and you'll be done (and certified by Udemy) before bed time tonight. 

You'll learn:

  • How to install PHP on your computer
  • How to write PHP code 
  • Who is using PHP 
  • If PHP is growing or not (Hint: PHP powers over 30% of ALL websites; it's the most used backend language!)

    • Variables
    • Constants
    • Data Types
    • Loops 
    • Multidimensional Arrays
    • Functions
    • Super Global Variables
    • Forms 
    • And much more!
