Codecademy PHP
I completed the Codecademy PHP tutorial.
Codecademy gives the ability to learn coding online in an interactive environment. The course is organized in modules, with each one focusing on different coding principles. Codecademy provides instructions on the left-hand side, a text editor to code in the center, and an output window on the right to view your results.
The structured nature of Codecademy's course allowed me to learn and build upon my PHP skills, and the interactive nature of coding and immediately receiving feedback helped me gain an understanding of PHP quickly.
Among the topics covered in the Codecademy PHP course were:
- Basic PHP syntax
- Control flows using both if/else and switch statements
- Arrays
- Looping structures (for, foreach, while, and dowhile)
- Functions
- Object-Oriented programming
- Associative and multi-dimensional arrays
