About the PHPenthusiast website

The website structure is very simple, and has two parts:

1. The learn part, in which you can find all the written tutorials.
2. And the practice part, in which you can find all the exercises that accompany the written tutorials.

The learn part

As you can see, it has links to all of the tutorials. By the time of recording, we have already published 12 tutorials, and there are more to come…

The first tutorial

Let's get into the first tutorial in which you can learn about classes and objects in PHP. These are really the fundamentals of Object Oriented PHP. Here you can find explanations about:

• What are classes?
• How to create classes?
• How to add properties (or class variables) to a class?

Everything is explained in the simplest words, with the simplest explanations,and with the simplest code examples.

The tutorials are written for full understanding, and that's what you'll get when you learn with the PHPenthusiast.com tutorials.

The practice part

Once you finish learning the written tutorial, you can go into the practice section. Here you can practice everything that you've learned in the written tutorial.

You can practice by doing one of two things (or both):

• You can answer multiple choice questions to test your knowledge of the basic terms and ideas that were learned in the tutorials.
• You can also practice with the coding exercise.

The coding exercise guides you step by step through writing a code which is based on what you have learned in the tutorial.

I hope to see you among the users of the PHPenthusiast.com website, where you can learn to become a professional Object-oriented PHP web developers.
