About This Series:
This action-packed video series takes you on a journey from the fundamentals of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) in PHP to advanced techniques, helping you write cleaner, more maintainable, and scalable code.
We kick things off by exploring why OOP matters and how it solves common issues like messy, hard-to-maintain code. You’ll learn how to create classes and objects, define properties and methods, and harness encapsulation 🔒 to control data access. As we progress, we’ll dive into constructors, destructors, namespaces, and autoloading 📦, making your code more efficient and modular.
From there, we explore inheritance & polymorphism 🎭, showing you how to extend classes and implement interfaces for flexible, reusable designs. You’ll master traits, static methods, and the final & parent keywords to control class behavior. Then, we tackle exception handling ⚠️, teaching you how to manage errors like a pro with custom exceptions.
In the final stretch, we bring everything together with real-world patterns, including the Singleton pattern (logger class) 🔁 and Dependency Injection 💡 for writing decoupled, testable code. To top it off, we’ll refactor a calculator app from scratch 🛠️, applying OOP best practices to build a fully optimized application.
Whether you’re just starting out or looking to level up your PHP skills, this series will equip you with everything you need to master OOP and write better PHP code! 🚀🔥
