About This Episode:
Before diving into PHP, we need to set up a solid development environment—the pragmatic way. ⚙️
In this video, we’ll walk through cloning the starter HTML version of our app, laying the groundwork for everything we’ll build together. This version is clean, organized, and perfect for transitioning into dynamic PHP. 🧱
We’ll also introduce the application starter kit that powers this series:
🔗 https://github.com/rcravens/kit
This kit streamlines development with useful tools and structure that we’ll build on throughout the project.
Our project lives here:
🔗 https://github.com/rcravens/rate_this_pic.git
Be sure to check out the v1-static-html tag to follow along with this video.
Let’s get your environment ready so you can build with confidence! 🚀
