Hello Guys!
I have enjoyed learning html, css, javascript, wordpress from teachers like Nick, Guil and others and I like them all. However, I am not satisfied with the teaching methods of Mr. Hampton Paulk. The reason is that I need practical examples of usage of php functions that why and where they are used. Also I don't expect him to read definitions from another site for the functions he is teaching. I would also like reviews at the end like Guil did in CSS course as conclusions and some animated explanations with images to elaborate the PHP code. I would also like some passion in explanation, some colour and feeling in the teaching the way Nick and Guil have presented the content. Hence my complain is presentation and explanation of the content.
Also I would like some code challanges in PHP Functions Course

10,415 PointsWell everyone has his own choice, I would recommend newbies to start with Build a Simple PHP Application.
PHP Basics by Hampton Paulk is also good enough but I don't like his other courses. Maybe it's my personal preference and he may be a fine teacher for others.

I've only just recently started on the PHP track, so there are a lot of "How will this be used?" moments for me as well, but I know that will come eventually. I find his teaching style to be very calming and thorough.

12,795 PointsI read the same about the "Build a Simple PHP Application" and it's next in my PHP track. I'm hoping that it clears up a lot of questions I have on the application of PHP. I understand how and why PHP works (somewhat), but I really want to start seeing some real world use.
