To learn PHP you'll need a LAMP server of some sort, a text editor, and a good study guide. I highly recommend buying a book because it's an excellent UI while learning a language.
You are the best trainer ever 👍👍👍 You helped us creating a car rental app (we are like a broker for car rental companies in Saudi Arabia) we watched almost all of your videos..thanks we appreciate you 🌹
I use PHP built-in webserver for local development. It's also what Laravel uses when you do 'php artisan serve'. I agree, books are an excellent resource. It's also a good idea to familiarize yourself with the official documentation of any languages/tools/apis you use. Get in the habit of looking stuff up there first before turning to a book or stack overflow.
Another asset: php.net. All the built-in functions and docs on the language online, along with commentary. All indexed and searchable. Invaluable resource. I've been coding in PHP for over 20 years, and I still use this resource. Also, PHP has its own native server. Like this: php -S localhost:8000. This will work for your own server, but others on the LAN won't be able to reach the server.
Install docker. With that you make a tiny configuration file that sets up a container for you with all the stuff and does it right for whatever server you deploy to. With docker you never end up with a server where you left a lot of experimental misconfigurations, you don't need to write documentation about how to set up your server because it's all in the docker file.
Hi Eli! Why you removed the video named "Bitcoin value plummets"?! Please add it back, or send me a link to other platform if youtube removed it ... ;)
