"No jargon, no pretence, no BS...just patient explanations of surprisingly simple things." Gary

Essential Learning For EVERY PHP DEVELOPER

THERE IS A GAP IN NEARLY EVERY PHP DEVELOPER'S KNOWLEDGE. We learn some PHP, some OOP, and then start using a framework where we are suddenly confronted with concepts and code that we don’t really understand.

It can feel like everything goes from simple to complicated very quickly. How are you supposed to learn the stuff in the middle? How will you relate the stuff you've learnt to DI containers, routing, templates, migrations, events and listeners, middleware, service providers etc.

That level of understanding and expertise is years away from where you are right now...am I right? No, actually, I'M WRONG! You're a lot closer to that level than you think.

I'M GONNA SHARE EXPERT KNOWLEDGE WITH YOU THAT USUALLY TAKES YEARS TO OBTAIN.

Starting from zero lines of code, we will build up our own custom framework, closely examining all of the component parts as we add them…each piece will be explained in a way that is easy to understand both in isolation and as part of the wider framework.

Every PHP job position you will apply for will require you to have experience of using at least one framework. So I decided to go one further and give you the edge over ALL of the competition by showing you exactly how they work and how they are constructed.

By the time you finish this course YOU WILL ALREADY KNOW MORE ABOUT MODERN PHP THAN 90% OF DEVELOPERS! IF YOU DISAGREE, I'LL REFUND YOU COMPLETELY...NO QUESTIONS ASKED

HOW DOES THAT SOUND SO FAR?..

..HERE'S WHAT'S COVERED IN THIS COURSE

By building a PHP framework, you will gain a deeper understanding of the architecture and principles behind PHP frameworks in general. This course starts with the HTTP essentials, teaching you how the Request -> Response flow is handled by all frameworks.

We'll actually have a working application from the first lines of code we write all the way to the end, building it up piece by piece. Every line will be explained, every decision will be rationalized. Mysterious subjects like containers, autowiring, routing, design patterns, sessions, middleware will be explained to you in words that you understand.

This is a very well researched course which does not take short cuts. All of the concepts you will learn here are based upon close examination of todays most popular frameworks.

Introduction - Let Me Show You How PHP Frameworks Work

This video will show you the Request - Reponse process that PHP frameworks follow

Section One Example Video - Request Class

We can create a request class in order to encapsulate the PHP superglobal values at the time that our application receives a HTTP request. These request object properties will have many useful benefits.

PSR-15 Middleware Example Video

PSR-15 is a PHP Standard Recommendation that provides a set of interfaces for HTTP middleware components. These interfaces make it easier to create reusable middleware that can be used across different PHP frameworks and applications.

Routing Example Video - Controller Classes

This course covers routing in great detail. In this video we complete the process of routing a request to controller method.

Dependency Injection Container Video - Autowiring

Instantiating classes with a hierarchy of dependencies can get messy so frameworks like Symfony employ something called autowiring. I show how it works.

Templating Example Video - Abstract Controller

It would be really handy for our controllers to have access to certain services such as a templating renderer. An abstract Controller which can access the container will work so I'll replicate how Symfony handles this scenario.

Redirect Responses Example Video

Once a user has performed an action such as logging in or submitting a form, you want to redirect them to a desired location. So let me show you how to create a RedirectResponse object which will handle this.

Stopping Event Propagation

Let's add the ability to stop event propagation. What this means is that once it is stopped, no more event listeners will be called.

Any listener could be given the ability to stop propagation by just calling $event->stopPropagation() so let's also create an event that does that.

Time For A Reality Check

This is not an MVC course...

There, I said it. This is 2024 and MVC is yesterday's news. Object Oriented PHP has come a long way in recent years and PHP developers have become better object oriented programmers.

You may have done MVC courses on Udemy or YouTube but answer me seriously... Are you any closer to understanding how Laravel and Symfony work?

Could you switch from one to the other with ease?

Whilst modern frameworks like Laravel and Symfony might employ models, views, and controllers, they are much more advanced and well-written than MVC. So I'm gonna show you how PHP frameworks are really constructed in 2024.

This is what people have had to say about this course.

The concepts are laid out very easily and the way of describing these abstract concepts are indeed easy to comprehend. Takes out a LOT of mystery behind popular PHP frameworks. - Eduardo

I discovered how the most popular php frameworks are working, which is something great. No need to try to get 1 well known to be able to use it and do the same to the others, here it's the same and applied to any other popular php framework. - Yves

Love the course, totally worth every $ - Janwelle

At this early point in the course, its been really good to get in the starting part of building a framework, and understanding how frameworks are built. Gary is explaining things well and enjoyable way - Jonathan

I am repeating the course a second time. First time I gained knowledge that helped me better understand routers in node and why we have them, middleware etc. This course is a gem. I am transitioning into a full blown php dev. "If that's even a thing" - Martin Nyagah Mugo

I love how to course is constructed. It's good to have small videos that focus on a specific aspect of the code. It help to retain informations more easily - Franck

I liked the content - João Pedro Ferreira Pedreira

Gary is explaining things that nobody does, and very few people know. I love this course, Cheers Gary! - Cesar Schefer

Who am I?

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 understand and remember.

At this moment in time, my videos have been watched over 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.
