I have already purchased three courses by Dave on Udemy. He is truly amazing, and the content he provides is both clear and useful.

[@dave-hollingworth]

Thank you so much for the super thanks, I really appreciate it!

[@stephenmitchell603]

Thanks for this tutorial David. You explain concepts in simple, digestible chunks, and proceed through each topics with clarity and logic. I enjoy watching your tutorials and always come away with stronger comprehension of the subject material.

[@dave-hollingworth]

Thank you so much for your kind words and super thanks Stephen, I really appreciate it!

[@truthteachers]

For me it did not sound simple or digestible as i feel we need a good understanding of DI and Containers as a perquisite. The footprint may be small but the framework is too confusing for a solution developers like me. I would rather stick to Codeigniter and make my life simple as it provides a wholesome package. So i am unable to comment the value of the course as I feel the course is running with the assumption that we already know Slim framework.

[@maiwald]

Hey Dave, thanks for this! A very well produced and very informative video. I have not worked with PHP in the last 15 years or so, but with PHP hosting being dead cheap in Germany, this tutorial makes me consider going back for a small API project.

Please make a full-fledged Slim Course with a production grade API for let's say E-commerce, because Slim is a framework and provides more security, also it could be using Symfony, but a good project which is real-world would be much more useful .

[@efbYouTube]

EXCELLENT as always! & txs 4 taking the time to break out the sections esp on these longer vids; makes it so much easier to later ref! love these recent vids using frameworks pckgs & libraries but have concerns on how well they will work in the shared host environments. r there web hosts that u can recommend that can accommodate them

[@dave-hollingworth]

This one in particular works well on shared hosting - this is my current recommended host: davehollingworth.com/go/hosting

[@efbYouTube]

@@dave-hollingworth awesome! i'll give em a try!

[@evekaykay]

Superb explanation skills. A symfony version of this would be super cool and also a deployment video on how to put all this code into azure or aws using a git repo.

@@dave-hollingworth Is there is laravel course on udemy?

[@weavekpanko148]

Does it include use of slim configuration setup on windows

[@emmanuelomotayo9177]

Good job! I would like you to share on how to deploy the slim restapi to a live server like heroku, Aws, azure or shared host like hostgator

[@dave-hollingworth]

Thanks for the idea!

[@zainkhalid3670]

Hey Dave, Yesterday I had to recommend a beginner level web dev course (HTML, CSS, JS, PHP, MYSQL only) to my brother. I was looking for a course that taught from scratch avoiding unnecessary in-depth details for beginners and yet still manage to produce a respectable project. I could not find a single instance on all of KZbin. Either the courses were super in depth & disjoint or too advanced. It'll be great if you could fill in such a course.

[@dave-hollingworth]

Ok thank you for the suggestion, I'm working on a PHP for Beginners course right now!

[@alalyrealestate1136]

Thnky you Dave for every thing, I already joined in two courses on udemy "php" and "mvc", and i wonder do you have advanced php course at the same quality as these? and thanks again 👌

[@dave-hollingworth]

Thank you for taking my courses! I don't have an advanced course more than the PHP MVC one yet, but I'm working on it!

[@davidsondavid4988]

can you make an E-commerce website where u can buy with mobile, credit card, gifts, and bank accounts. Thank you.

[@veralyons6219]

Thank you for this video🎉 Please can you make a video about why PHPMailer takes over 5 minutes to send a message .... Singular dynamic, plain text btw

[@dave-hollingworth]

It's most likely the SMTP server - SMTP servers are slow anyway, as SMTP is a "chatty" protocol. Alternatives are to use a queue and process it later, or use an email sending API

[@veralyons6219]

@@dave-hollingworth That's great, thanks
