PHP and MySQL still power a massive share of the web, from WordPress to custom business sites. This course teaches you to write PHP, connect to a MySQL database, handle forms and users, and build a working data-driven website. It's a practical, project-based route into web development with immediately useful skills.
Almost every application stores its data in a database, so being fluent in querying and designing one is a foundational skill across tech. This 2-month Core PHP & MySQL - Web Development programme takes you from the basics to being genuinely useful.
By working through real exercises you’ll design normalised schemas, write queries from simple SELECTs to multi-table joins, and build the judgement that only comes from practice.
Because it’s taught live and personally, questions get answered the moment they come up.
