Hey this is WellExplained and I'm Vladimir Grankin. I have more than 10 years of experience in web development and I have worked for different web companies during these years. I also have a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science.

Both absolute PHP beginners and experienced developers will greatly benefit from taking this course. We focus on the fundamentals here. We cover namespaces, operators, types, variables, functions, object oriented programming, constants, expressions, sessions, cookies, exceptions, generators, references, garbage collection and many many more! Hundreds of examples are provided and explained in great detail to make sure you got each and every concept.

We will extensively use official PHP documentation in our course. In fact it is based on PHP manual. And what is the advantage of using PHP manual? The biggest advantage is that this is the best, most genuine source of documentation and quality information on PHP available and it is also maintained by PHP creators. We will go through all covered concepts in great detail, will examine hundreds of examples provided in the PHP manual for covered topics and will add even more examples to make sure you fully understand the concept.
