Hey everybody, welcome to Code Dynamic Websites with PHP!

My name is Brad Hussey and for the next little while, I'm going to be your personal instructor, and I will be teaching you how to hand code PHP!

This course is a Total Beginner's Guide to Coding Your Very Own Dynamic Websites with PHP, so you need no prior knowledge or experience — although it's a good idea that you know some HTML (my beginner's guide "Build a Website from Scratch with HTML & CSS" (www.udemy.com/build-website-scratch/?couponCode=DYNAMICPHP) will get teach you everything you need to know).

My approach with this course, like many of my courses, is to take a practical "hands on" approach. While there will be *some* theory involved — every single lesson requires you to get your hands dirty and exercise what you've learned in that specific lesson. I find this to be the best approach, because you're able to retain much more of what you learned, and therefore, get up and running with maximizing your practical knowledge of PHP quickly!

So — why learn PHP? Well, PHP is a very powerful scripting language used by millions of websites. Some of the most popular websites and frameworks utilize PHP to build their dynamic websites. PHP works very well with HTML, and therefore will allow you to start coding dynamic websites quickly without having to learn some of the more complicated scripting languages out there.

I think you're going to love this course, and you're going to especially love what you're going to learn. When I first started learning PHP, I *couldn't wait* to start implementing what I learned into my websites! I think you'll feel the same.

Also, I am excited to be offering this course absolutely free for three reasons:

I don't want a purchasing decision to get in the way of you learning what I have to offer in this course.
I want as many people as possible to be able access the content.
I want to give you learning material so good that it should cost money.
So, I invite you to join me in learning how to Code Dynamic Websites with PHP!

Let's do this.
