Object-Oriented PHP

Object-Oriented PHP

Build Maintainable, Scalable PHP Applications

Master PHP object-oriented programming concepts including classes, objects, properties, methods, inheritance, interfaces, traits, static members, and real-world OOP patterns. Apply your skills to write clean, maintainable, and reusable code for dynamic web applications.

Perfect for developers who know PHP basics and want to level up their skills to write professional, production-ready object-oriented code.

About This Course

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! 🚀🔥

Course Roadmap

Many PHP tutorials either skim object-oriented concepts or present them in isolation, making it hard to see how everything works together in real applications.
This course takes a different approach. You’ll learn PHP OOP step by step — covering classes, objects, properties, methods, encapsulation, inheritance, interfaces, traits, and practical patterns — all applied to real coding examples.
The curriculum follows a continuous project-oriented journey — each lesson builds on the last, giving you the confidence to write maintainable, scalable, and professional PHP applications.

Meet Your Instructor

Hi, I’m Bob Cravens — a software developer, consultant, and educator with years of experience building and maintaining real-world web applications.

I run a technology consulting company where I help clients design, build, and evolve production systems. That experience directly shapes how I teach. The patterns, tradeoffs, and decisions you’ll see in this course aren’t theoretical — they’re the same ones I use when building software that has to be understood, maintained, and extended over time.

I created this course because too many PHP tutorials skip over object-oriented programming or show concepts in isolation, making it hard to see how real applications are structured. Understanding OOP is key to writing maintainable, scalable PHP code.

My goal with this course isn’t just to teach PHP syntax or features, but to help you truly master classes, objects, inheritance, interfaces, and patterns so you can build robust, professional applications.

If you want a deep, practical understanding of PHP OOP that prepares you to tackle real-world projects and write clean, maintainable code, this course is designed for you.

Why This Series?

Many PHP tutorials either skim object-oriented concepts or show them in isolation. That can be useful for reference — but it doesn’t teach you how to structure maintainable, real-world applications.

This series takes a different approach.

Instead of jumping between disconnected examples, you’ll explore PHP OOP step by step. You’ll learn classes, objects, properties, methods, inheritance, interfaces, traits, and practical patterns — seeing how these concepts fit together to build maintainable, scalable applications.

The videos are intentionally thorough. Not to waste time — but to show complete thought processes, real refactors, and practical decision-making — the kind of depth short tutorials often skip.

By the end of the series, you won’t just know PHP syntax — you’ll understand how to reason about, structure, and maintain object-oriented PHP applications, giving you the confidence to tackle advanced projects or frameworks.
