This course is for absolute beginners and will give you a great kickstart to learning PHP. We'll first talk about what PHP is and why we should learn it, then we will setup a working environment and start coding. This video covers all the basics: - How to declare Variables- How to work with strings, Arrays- How to work with file System- How to use cURL to fetch resources- Object Oriented PHP- Namespaces- Composer- Autoloading and much more... At the end of this course we will create a CRUD (CREATE, READ, UPDATE, DELETE) application 3 times.

We will learn how to use composer, autoloading and we'll create a mini MVC framework with custom routing and then build the final version of our CRUD application using the framework
