Learning a programming language is one thing and using it to build something great is another. I've been teaching code newbies and aspiring developers for a long time and I see many of them struggling to put into practice their newly acquired skills. I've also noticed that many resources on the Internet are out-of-date, misleading, or don't provide real hands-on practice.

I've built this course to fix the issues above. You'll learn a better way to build a modern and production-ready PHP app connected to a database like a pro. The app, a CRUD one, will also have some more advanced features like I/O security, router, and more. 

At the end of this course, you'll be well equipped to build database apps with PHP.
