Welcome again. I know hadn't written anything for a while now, but here I am.
I'd like to introduce you to a new series - A full PHP guide.
In this tutorial my main goal will be to teach you how to use PHP to create useful scripts and good looking codebase.
Tutorial Structure
There will be 2 major parts of this course
- Fundamentals - A pile of articles about basics of PHP, such as variables, SQL operations, if-else etc. with easy to understand examples
- Projects - The practical part of this course. We will be making 2 projects using knowledge from first part. (I can spoil you one thing - first project may be something like a social-media platform)
Nothing more to say here - let's learn a bit of theory (the most boring part to be honest, but it's useful to know)
Name Origin
PHP is an acronym. To make it more interesting it's recursive acronym.
PHP stands for "PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor" - And what does "PHP" inside it mean? "PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor" - you get the rule, don't you?
A little bit more about PHP
PHP is a scripting language created in 1995 by Rasmus Lerdorf.
You can check it's newest stable version on official website php.net
If you know PHP and want to use it, you could become a back-end developer
The main, and promoted principal is OOP - stands for Object Oriented programming
If this sounds complicated - don't worry. I'll explain it later
Announcement
I guess that's everything theoretical we should know about PHP - the next part will be about installing and configuring PHP's environment on both Linux and Windows
Stay tuned and leave me a follow to not miss a new part of this course
So, that's it. See you next time
