PHP is one of the most prominent programming languages in the world, so it’s vital to keep your skills sharp and aligned with current demands. This course from Joe Casabona presents a number of challenges to help you reinforce your PHP knowledge. The challenges start off with simple, common problems like writing sorting functions, and increase in difficulty to more complex tasks like encrypting strings and namespacing. Most solutions can be found in less than 25 lines of code, and many of the videos can be watched on their own, so you don’t need to complete the previous challenges if there’s a specific knowledge set you want to test. Whether you’re just learning PHP or an experienced pro looking to stay sharp, this course will give you a good idea of where your PHP skills stand.
