PHP Object Oriented Programming is now the gold standard expected by a large number of companies (and especially among e-commerce websites). The problem? There are never enough programmers out there who really, really know what they’re doing with PHP OOP. By getting to grips with it, you can not only build better websites; you can reduce the many hours of coding normally needed to create them too. This online course will show you how.

Build high performance, dynamic web pages with PHP OOP

• Learn the modern day programming approach demanded by most companies
• Build, design, create and structure advanced dynamic web pages
• Understand how to maintain and organise PHP code
• Separate code into objects to harness the full power of PHP
• Gain an extensive knowledge of Object Oriented Programming

Maintain PHP code more efficiently in web projects

This PHP Object Oriented Programming course contains over 63 lectures and 5 hours of content; that’s more than enough to set you on the path to becoming a PHP OOP expert. Although not designed for complete beginners, anyone with some basic HTML development experience will be more than capable of following along.

The course begins with installation of the local PHP server, then it’s straight into the essential constructs of PHP (i.e. class constructs, attributes, methods and constants). Section 3 covers the the PHP Object in depth, from how to create an object to obtaining and changing its attributes. From then on things get more advanced with an extensive look at the Constructor/ Destructor Magic Method, then static class attributes, constants and methods.

With each section you will complete a practical exercise to put your knowledge to the test and gain hands-on experience of the material you’ve just covered. By the time you’re done, you’ll know the basics of PHP OOP inside out, and plenty more besides.

About PHP OOP

PHP is a widely used programming language that’s especially suitable for web development and e-commerce. Object Oriented Programming is a programming model often used with PHP. With OOP, programmers define not just the data type of a data structure, but the functions that can be applied to it too.

In this course you will learn how PHP Model View Controllers (PHP MVC) work and how to create one yourself.

Using the open source and well documented PHP MVC Project as a starting point, you will learn how to incorporate Model View Controllers into your development and solidify your skills by building your own MVC based framework.

What Is Model-View-Control?

The Model-View-Control (MVC) pattern, originally formulated in the late 1970s, is a software architecture pattern built on the basis of keeping the presentation of data separate from the methods that interact with the data. In theory, a well-developed MVC system should allow a front-end developer and a back-end developer to work on the same system without interfering, sharing, or editing files either party is working on.

Even though MVC was originally designed for personal computing, it has been adapted and is widely used by web developers due to its emphasis on separation of concerns, and thus indirectly, reusable code. The pattern encourages the development of modular systems, allowing developers to quickly update, add, or even remove functionality.

In this course you will learn to build your own, fully functional chat application for websites using PHP and Ajax.

Who Should Take This Course?

A basic knowledge of PHP and Ajax is recommended for this course, but both beginners and experienced web developers will benefit from this concise set of tutorials. We will also be using some basic JavaScript, MySQL and jQuery.

How Hard Is This To Build?

This chat application is actually relatively straight forward and easy to create. Anyone with a basic knowledge of the languages listed above (and even if you are new to them) should find that they are able to follow along and create this simple chat application with ease.

What Is Laravel?

Laravel is a free, open source PHP web application framework, designed for the development of MVC web applications. Laravel is released under the MIT license, with its source code hosted on GitHub.

According to a December 2014 survey on PHP frameworks popularity, Laravel is listed as one of the most promising PHP frameworks for 2015

Every e-commerce website needs a payment processing system, and PayPal is the most widely used processing system in the world. If you're a web developer, being able to implement a PayPal Instant Notification System is a must have skill for your toolbox.

What Is PayPal IPN?
