Object-oriented programming is perhaps the dominant development paradigm for leading languages including Java, C#, and Python. The rich class and inheritance framework wasn’t fully implemented in modern PHP until 2015, and best practices for object-oriented programming are still emerging.
This course is an introduction to object-oriented programming in PHP. You’ll start with the basics of the OOP paradigm and get familiar with classes, objects, methods, and properties. You’ll then chain methods and properties using the this keyword before working with access modifiers and magic methods. With these basics down, you’ll take a deep dive into object-oriented programming in PHP, including inheritance, abstraction, polymorphism, and namespaces. After exploring exception handling, you’ll use these object-oriented techniques to build, manage, and edit a PHP database.
By the end of this course, you’ll be prepared to build dynamic server-side applications using object-oriented programming in PHP.

"You guys are the gold standard of crash-courses... Narrow enough that it doesn't need years of study or a full blown book to get the gist, but broad enough that an afternoon of Googling doesn't cut it."
