About me

Hello and thank you so much for checking out my work. My name is Gary Clarke and I'm a software developer with many years experience, primarily in PHP. I started creating video tutorials during lockdown in 2020 because I wanted the challenge of being able to explain complex / technical subjects to others in a way which is easy to understand and remember.
At this moment in time, my videos have been watched nearly half a million times and I intend to keep creating new and improved content and teaching more and more new people. It would be my pleasure to see you on the inside of one of my courses.

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...

Are you a failure?

My wife told me the other day that she was surprised by the number of Elon Musk’s past business failures. I was surprised too but for a different reason; I expected there to be more! If you want to be successful at anything, you’ve got to fail (or at least suck) at it first…it’s part of the process. I reckon I could apply that hypothesis to anything that I’m currently capable of doing. Failure is also the part of the learning process which protects us and others. Think about the pilot in the flight simulator crashing into the side of a mountain. Think about your code and the hundreds of error messages you will see before you ever get let loose on production code. No one wants the pilot to be facing that mountain scenario for the first time in a real plane carrying real passengers. No one wants us to see a certain error message for the first time AFTER it has hit production. This is a week in which Sam Bankman-Frieds FTX crypto exchange went down in flames and Elizabeth Holmes was jaile...
