Web development brings together a growing number of programming languages, but there are few that have stood the test of time like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. This is also the case for PHP, a language that dates back to 1995 and that remains the most widely used programming language by content management systems such as WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal.
In this online course, learn the basics of programming in PHP and create a small CMS to get started with this fascinating language together with Ignacio Cruz Moreno, a developer specialized in WordPress.
If you've already taken Ignacio's first course, Creation of a Professional Website with WordPress, it's now time to take it a step further and create your own platform to suit your needs.

The course is good, well explained. Some updates to the content would be needed since there are functions that the teacher uses that are obsolete in the current version of PHP.

The PHP course I took was exceptional. The content structure was very well organized, starting from the basics to more advanced topics gradually. The practical examples were very useful to understand how to apply what was learned in real situations. The instructors were clear and demonstrated deep knowledge of the language.
