Unlock Your PHP Potential with PHP Framework Pro & PHP API Pro


Are you ready to take your PHP development skills to the next level? Whether you're aiming to master the intricacies of PHP frameworks or become the go-to expert on APIs, the PHP Pro Bundle is designed to catapult your career forward.

Why This Bundle?

PHP Framework Pro: In the first course, we tackle a common gap in many PHP developers' knowledge: the transition from basic PHP and OOP to understanding and building frameworks. You'll learn how to construct your own custom framework from scratch, dissecting each component to understand its role and functionality. This course provides you with:


- Insight into the inner workings of modern PHP frameworks
- Hands-on experience building a custom framework
- Advanced knowledge that sets you apart from the competition

PHP API Pro: Every PHP developer will eventually need to build and maintain APIs—that's a fact of life. However, with so many considerations and different approaches, it can be hard to know if you're doing it right. This course is your solution:


- Start from scratch and build your own API
- Learn how to version, secure, and optimize an API
- Understand when, where, and why to apply certain techniques in various scenarios
- Become the expert in the room, outpacing peers with average API knowledge

What You'll Gain:


- Deep understanding of PHP frameworks
- The ability to build a custom framework from scratch
- Advanced PHP skills that distinguish you from other developers
- Comprehensive API knowledge and practical skills
- Confidence in building, securing, and optimizing APIs
- Expertise that gives you an edge in every PHP job position

Meet Your Instructor

With years of experience creating courses, I understand what it takes to teach complex topics in a clear, concise, and memorable way. By the end of these courses, you'll possess skills that typically take years to acquire.

Get Ahead of the Competition

Every PHP position requires knowledge of frameworks and APIs. This bundle not only prepares you to use frameworks but also teaches you how they are built, and equips you with top-notch API skills. You'll finish with a deeper understanding of modern PHP than 90% of developers. If you're not completely satisfied, I'll refund you—no questions asked.

Check Out These Example Videos From The Courses

Introduction - Let Me Show You How PHP Frameworks Work

In this short introduction video, we'll take a high-level view of how modern PHP frameworks handle web requests.

Request Class

We will be able to use some of the properties on our request object in order to perform important operations such as routing the request to the correct handler (controller) etc.

PSR15 Middleware

The PHP Framework Interop Group (FIG) has defined a standard for middleware interfaces in PHP. That's where PSR-15 comes in.

Console Applications


All frameworks come with a console application which can be used for administrative tasks which don't warrant a frontend.

Course Introduction - How REST Works

This video will show you all of the main components of REST, why they exist, and how they are used.

Idempotency

Idempotence means that the result of performing an operation multiple times is the same as performing it once. It is important that your API behaves in expected ways and knowing which operations should / should not be idempotent will help you with this.

Creating Nested Resources

A reservation can't exist without a related flight so it kinda makes sense to create this as a nested resource on a flights endpoint. Let me show you what I mean.

Checking Permissions

We want to be able to assign permissions to a role and then subsequently check that the role has that permission...shouldn't be too difficult now that we've come this far!

URI Versioning

URI versioning, where the version number is included directly in the URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) of an API, is one of the most common methods for managing API versions.

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 a pleasure to see you on the inside of one of my courses.
