Learning PHP 7: From the Basics to Application Development - Udemy

PHP is back and is faster and more lightweight than ever. The world of web technology is seamlessly evolving, and PHP 7’s simplicity and  prowess addresses the requirements of current and future web and mobile  application development.

Learning PHP 7 demonstrates how to script for the web, providing everything from simple PHP commands to advanced data manipulations.

The course takes a deep dive into basic PHP concepts such as variables, constants, operators, arrays, conditionals, and loops, which  every developer needs to master. The course also covers object-oriented  paradigms and coding standards, which acts as the do’s and don'ts of  writing code.

The core of the course lies in bringing all the newly introduced features to fruition. This is done through the creation of a fun social  web application where a viewer can post and share pictures including  features of likes and comments. The use of several controllers in the  application provides the viewer with a learning curve to add more  interactivity to their own applications. The course also shows you how  to build an administrative panel with an intuitive menu and create a  dynamic page to manage the users, photos, and comments in the  application.

Important topics such as creating an API for an RSS feed, deploying with Docker and Amazon AWS, and versioning with Git are a real bonus for  blooming web developers.
