About This Episode:
Welcome to PHP: The Pragmatic Way! In this video, we set the stage for an exciting journey into dynamic web development. 🌐
We’ll start by touring the project’s goals, showing you where we’re landing and what’s ahead. The rule is simple: all the PHP code is ours! We begin with static HTML pages and gradually convert them into dynamic applications. 💻
Along the way, we’ll cover:
• Extracting a layout to avoid repetition 🔄
• Refactoring into an MVC architecture 🏗️
• Building a “mini-framework” to streamline development ⚙️
You’ll also learn how this framework introduces powerful features like routing, sessions, databases, models, views, and controllers. 🛠️
We’ll stick to best practices throughout—focusing on clean, secure, and maintainable code that’s easy to use. By the end of this series, you’ll be ready to implement these principles in your own projects!
Prerequisites: Basic PHP and OOP knowledge are recommended to get the most out of this series. Ready to dive in? Let’s go! 🚀
