There's no such thing as a short-cut in programming. But there is a fast-track...and this is it.

Have you tried to learn Object Oriented PHP or, indeed, any OOP before? You start a new course, the explanations are easy enough to follow but there's something missing....the examples have absolutely no bearing to the real world. How is code like $dog->bark() or $car->drive() going to help you write a real program for real users?

To get from where you are, to get to where you want to be as a programmer, that way is going to take a long time.

I created this course to be what I wanted when I was learning OOPHP.

The entire course is based around a single goal: Turning you into a professional PHP developer capable of developing real-world production applications.

The Complete Object Oriented PHP Developer Course covers the fundamentals of OOPHP before diving into some of the tools which are essential to professional projects such as Composer.

The best way to learn OOPHP is by writing OOPHP.

From the very start you’ll code along with me as I explain the concepts. I'll also set you small challenges so that you can practice and reinforce what you have learnt.

By the end, you’ll be able to take what you’ve learned and launch your own PHP application.

When learning, learn the latest.

I work to keep this course full of the most up-to-date PHP material out there. This course is compatible with the latest PHP version and I try to include new features of the language when the opportunity presents itself.

You’re getting access to hot-off-the-press features.

There’s no better time to learn PHP.

PHP consistently ranks in the top 10 of backend programming languages in the annual Stack Overflow Survey and it is used by between 70 - 80% of all websites [source: w3techs March 2021]. An incredible statistic.

You might get stuck. But I’m here to help.

There’s nothing worse than getting five hours into a course, getting stuck, and not getting the help you need to continue.

I’m in the Q&A everyday to help you get unstuck. I reply to every question to get you back on track.
