BlackBelt PHP and MySQL skills for Dynamic Website

Course details

The structure of this course was inspired by the Jiu Jitsu ranking system. The whole course has been divided into 7 levels:

• 1. Yellow Belt;

• 2. Orange Belt;

• 3. Green Belt;

• 4. Blue Belt;

• 5. Purple Belt;

• 6. Brown Belt;

• 7. Black Belt;

You will learn all the PHP fundamentals in Yellow, Orange, and Green belt.

The real power of PHP actually comes from its built-in functions. But there are over 1,000 of them, it would be impossible for you to learn all of them. And forgetting things is just human nature, therefore, it would also be a bad idea to demand that you remember every function you learn from this course. Though I have tried my best to only select the most commonly used one, there are still lots of functions to learn.

The best solution is to teach you how to use and learn from the manual. Even you forgot about how to use certain functions, you still can pick things up quickly by reading the manual. This is like teaching you how to fish, instead of giving you fish directly.

As a result, almost every function in the course are taught by using a manual. You will learn almost all your functions through the manual. In the future, if you need to learn new functions by yourself, you will feel much more comfortable and confident.

In the blue belt, we will learn how to get the file name extension and create new directories. In purple belt, we will learn how to upload files properly, which will require you to use techniques learnt in the blue belt. In the brown belt, you will learn how to use database techniques to manage all your uploaded files. In this way, you will constantly repeat using techniques learnt before.

We all forget things and that is a human nature that cannot be changed. But you can always hone your ability of picking up forgotten knowledge. For PHP programmers or any computer programmers, the manual is definitely the best choice. This is why throughout this whole course, using the manual, how to use the manual and getting used to seeking help from manual have been given top priority.
