Description
Most modern PHP development uses a
framework
like
Laravel
or
CodeIgniter
. However, the jump from using
basic PHP
to using a framework can be
difficult
. This course
bridges that gap
.
Frameworks can 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.
Learn how to efficiently organise your code
Separate application code (PHP) from presentation code (HTML)
Have pretty URLs instead of PHP filenames
Develop advanced routing using regular expressions
Learn concepts like dependency injection, templating and middleware
Use object-oriented (OO) techniques such as inheritance, interfaces, abstract classes and more
Develop a full CRUD application using the MVC pattern
The essential skills required to understand and use a PHP MVC framework.
Developing PHP applications is faster and more secure if you use a framework. Learning how to use an MVC framework puts a very powerful tool at your fingertips. By developing your own 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
This course is designed for developers who
know PHP
but
don't know how to use a framework
. I designed the course for developers who want to develop full, feature-rich applications quickly and easily. Learning the techniques on this course will enable you to write web applications using the framework you build, but also learn frameworks like Laravel much more easily.
Suitable for all PHP developers
, you'll start by learning the basics of a PHP MVC framework.
You'll learn how to organise your code into models, views and controllers, and how to work efficiently with them.
We'll build a full web application
from scratch
, with each concept explained in detail at every stage.
Throughout the course, we'll build code that you can
reuse
in all your projects.
All the
source code
developed in the lectures is
available to download
.
All the time we'll adhere to
industry standards
and
best practices
.
When you complete the course you'll be able to use your framework to create fast, flexible web applications, with all the features a modern web application requires.
Complete with all the code shown in the lectures, you'll be able to
work alongside the instructor
and will receive a verifiable
certificate of completion
upon finishing the course.
Also, at all times throughout the course you have
access to the instructor
in the Q&A section to ask for
help with any topic
related to the course.
