  3. Learn object oriented PHP

WHAT'S COVERED IN THIS COURSE?

I combined research with lessons learnt from feedback that I received for my previous OOPHP stuff in order to come up with the best, most-relevant material for today's PHP developer.

Here is a list of the content that I cover. One of the main difference between this course and most others is that you are given the opportunity to practice what you've just been shown, followed by my solution. Students of my previous courses said that this was a very effective way for them to reinforce that knowledge...it just works.

Gary Clarke

Hello and thank you so much for checking out my work. My name is Gary Clarke and I'm a software developer with many years experience, primarily in PHP. I started creating video tutorials during lockdown in 2020 because I wanted the challenge of being able to explain complex / technical subjects to others in a way which is easy to undertsand and remember.

At this moment in time, my videos have been watched nearly half a million times and I intend to keep creating new and improved content and teaching more and more new people. It would be my pleasure to see you on the inside of one of my courses.
