Ninja Basics - PHP Coding Course

In all the years I've been professionally programming, the question I'm asked most often is "Where do I start?" and "What language should I learn?".

Well, I'm going to answer both those questions for you now.

You start right here! Why? This course is designed for beginners. You do not need any previous programming knowledge. You will be introduced to the basic languages used to create most websites you visit on the web everyday.

You will be learning the basic of HTML, CSS, and PHP while making a simple but useful web app.

I call this project "The Decision Helper" because when you are finished with this course will have not only have the basic concepts of coding down but also a fun tool to help you make any type of decision. Whether you need to choice a movie, restaurant, color, or whatever you can use what you've made!

Welcome and hello!

Let me be the first to congratulate you on your decision to learn how to program.

I believe everyone can and should learn how to code. The most important step is finding a teacher or tutorial that you connect with and understand.

I remember back when I was first learning how to code and reading guides/books/tutorials, I kept thinking "How is this used in the real world, or what's the point of this".

My goal is for you to never feel that way. My approach to teaching is a hands on one. Instead of learning the theories of how things work, I try to teach by using real world problems and solutions.

We will be creating some useful, and fun code which you can customize, and use in your daily life! (especially if you are bad at decision making like me)

If you finish this guide and understand what we did and why, you will have obtained the core fundamentals of programming. The lessons you will learn are invaluable, take and build upon them and create something awesome!
