What you'll learn

Separate application code from presentation code
Organise your PHP code into models, views and controllers in an MVC framework
Use namespaces and an autoloader to load PHP classes automatically
Use the Composer tool to manage third-party package dependencies and autoloading
Handle errors and exceptions in PHP and display more or less error detail based on the environment
Understand how MVC frameworks work, making it easier to learn an existing framework like Laravel or CodeIgniter

Requirements

You should already be familiar with PHP and HTML.
You should be comfortable installing software on your computer - in the first section we'll be installing a web server.

Description

Learn the basic concepts of using a model-view-controller framework that will make your PHP projects faster, easier to write and maintain, and more secure.

Learn to Structure your PHP Code Like a Professional by Building a PHP MVC Framework from Scratch.

Model-view-controller (MVC) pattern concepts
Build an MVC framework in PHP from scratch
Separate application code from presentation code
Use namespaces and an autoloader to load classes automatically

Take your PHP Projects to the Next Level

Learning how to use an MVC framework puts a very powerful tool at your fingertips. Most commercial websites and web applications written in PHP use some sort of framework, and the MVC pattern is the most popular type of framework in use.

The gap between knowing PHP and using a framework can be huge. This course bridges that gap. By writing your own framework from scratch, you'll gain an understanding of just how each component works. Frameworks like Laravel, Symfony and CodeIgniter all use the MVC pattern, so understanding how an MVC framework is put together will give you a strong background to more easily learn frameworks such as these.

Content and Overview

I designed this course to be easily understood by programmers who know PHP but don't know how to use a framework. Are you putting database code and HTML in the same PHP script? Want to know why this is a bad idea? Want to know how to do it better?

Starting with the basic concepts of MVC frameworks, this course will take you through all the steps needed to build a complete MVC framework, a piece at a time.

Beginning with a single PHP script, each lecture explains what you're going to add to the code and why, building up the framework step by step. At the end of this course, you'll have built a complete MVC framework in PHP, ready to use in your own projects.

Complete with working source code at every stage, you'll be able to work alongside the instructor and will receive a verifiable certificate of completion upon finishing the course.

Who this course is for:

This PHP MVC course is meant for those who already know PHP but want to know how they can improve their code by using a framework. This course is not for you if you don't already know PHP.
The gap between learning PHP and using a framework can be large - if you've just learnt PHP and you're wondering what the next step might be, this course is for you.

Love the bite sized videos. Short and straight to the point. Providing source codes throughout the course is very helpful. I especially like how the first several videos focus solely on the routing part. Huge thumbs up as some course creators never took the time to reply to questions but not this one! *Note that you need basic PHP and OOP knowledge for this course.

Hi, I'm Dave Hollingworth. I'm an IT trainer and web application developer. I've been programming for over thirty years, and teaching IT since 1999.

I've developed enterprise-level applications on platforms ranging from mainframes to mobiles: from my first web application, a quotes system created for a major insurance company back in 1999 - the first of its type in the sector - to interactive learning management systems for online language learning.

I've taught courses ranging from basic use of email to advanced web application development, both online and in-person. I've been teaching on Udemy since 2012.

I'm passionate about technology, and love teaching it! I believe it's possible to explain even the most complex subjects in a simple, straightforward way that doesn't confuse the student.

I look forward to welcoming you onto one of my courses!
