Is PHP track difficult

I am following PHP track for now. The first four courses were good. I even managed through the Object Orient PHP course. but after that I don't clearly understand anything. Does anyone feel the same?

Thanks Calvin. PHP is a good and easy language.I understand the basics of PHP without any issue. but the courses from the PHP development track is little bit difficult to understand.

I was the same but it doesn't mean to say that this is the same for everybody.

Some of the courses up there at least from my experience are a few years old.

That said there's a great new PHP teacher in Treehouse with some exciting courses coming up that has a fresh look on buiding websites with PHP.

Check out Build a Basic PHP Website and later to come, Integrating PHP with databases.

PHP isn't that difficult you just have to familiarise with functions routes MVC models and a background of JavaScript and front end is an added advantage

Thanks for the encouragement. PHP is an easy language to learn but I find it difficult to learn it from the PHP developer track in treehouse.
