PHP: MySQL (PDO) Tutorial


PHP has come a long way, and now with new type safety features, superior performance, asynchronous programming, and elegant object-oriented patterns, it can be overwhelming.

Despite all that, have no fear: I will show you where to get resources and pick up speed.

We will start with PHP database connection improvements. 

Every PHP programmer has heard of PDO but not everyone is taking advantage of this new way of connecting to a database. Many are still learning and using bloated code and legacy syntax even when using PDO.

Therefore, I have created a short course at Udemy to clear out any doubts about this improved PHP connectivity.

"The course is full of important and immediately useful techniques that you can put to work as soon as you return to your own projects."
"This tutorial doesn't overwhelm the reader with so much new material that they can't solidify even the basics; rather, the course provides just enough information to give the reader some agency in their learning. This is truly where PHP 7 - A Simple Guide to Database Connections with PDO shines while other countless PDO tutorials stumble." 


In addition, I will post related information here at BlogSpot in case you revisit again.
