Git and GitHub

 A few months ago, I was scrolling through my LinkedIn when a saw a post from a girl who said that she was thinking of quitting pursuing a career in tech because she just couldn't grasp Git.

What made this curious to me was the fact that she was able to understand things which are much more complex (to me, at least). So I cast my mind back to when I was in her position, just starting out, and I do recall being quite overwhelmed by Git when I first encountered it.

There are so many things that you can do with it but most learners are just working on small tutorial projects on their own...no collaborators. Being shown hundreds of different commands in Git 'God mode' makes no practical sense. That's not only confusing but it's also unrealistic.

Most developers, self included, don't use anywhere near all of Git's features. I've forgotten more Git commands than I actually know and use regularly.

So this is a long way of saying that I decided to make a Git and Github course. But this isn't a 'here's everything you can do with Git' course, it's a practical course where I go through the options and explain where, why, and how I use them.

I even include commands that I never (or rarely) use and explain why I don't use them and what the better alternatives are. It's a practical course for people of all levels.

The course costs $29 but the good news for you is that it is FREE to GCT subscribers.

PHP Framework Pro Free Preview

  Today I bring good news! I’ve compiled the first 12 videos from my forthcoming PHP Framework Pro course into one 70 minute video. The lessons included in this preview are: The Front Controller Autoloading Request Class Response Class Http Kernel Routing FastRoute Router Adding Routes Retrieving Path Info Defining Routes Controller Classes Controller Method Arguments This is just a small sample of the full course which will be released in March and many of the components will grow and evolve as the course progresses. This week I’ve been working on Dependency Injection and produced over an hour’s worth of video material so far on the Dependency Injection Container alone. My mission is to uncover all of the mystery of frameworks so ask me anything you wanna know about the course. I’ve already included material based on suggestions received. You can check out the 70 min preview here: https://youtu.be/u3hN_r1DwSQ Some early views and likes would be very much appreciated 🙏 ...

Wanna be a PHP framework PRO?

So last week I spoke about frameworks and the importance of being able to write clean, framework-agnostic code if you wanted to be a well-rounded developer. Let me now share with you something which I have been working on since December…this will be my next full-length course on garycarke.tech: PHP Framework PRO. Nearly every PHP job position you will apply for will require you to have experience of using at least one framework. So I decided to go one further and give you the edge over all of the competition by showing you exactly how they work and how they are constructed. Starting from zero lines of code, we will build up our own custom framework, closely examining all of the component parts as we add them…each piece will be explained in a way that is easy to understand both in isolation and as part of the wider framework. By the end of the course you will have a complete understanding of front-controllers, Request classes, Response classes, routing components, controller classes, de...

PHP is Dead!

Image
  I’ve been using PHP since version 5.2. One of the first things I was told when I first started learning it was that PHP is dead! 5.2 was released in 2006 yet here we are in November 2022 with version 8.2 about to be released. In fact a new version has been released every November or December for the last 8 years.  According to W3Techs reports as of October 2022, it is used by 74.4% of all the websites whose server-side programming language they know…I’d say that means it’s very much alive and it’s not going to die any time soon because it is too good at what it does. It is a language which was purposely designed for the web. You don’t need to piece several different packages together to start making web requests with PHP, everything is ready to go immediately. But if you do want to talk about the packages and tools available to a PHP developer, I think that what we have these days puts us in a very strong position. Composer is a brilliant dependency management tool…give me C...
