Teacher & web developer with 15+ years experience in teaching and industry.

## How I teach ##

We will use zoom, skype or google meet - as long as we can screen share it is good. During classes I will be working on an example and explain all the steps involved + concepts behind it. Feel free to interrupt me and ask anything - being interactive is exactly what makes this better than $10 online tutorials.

I prefer to do a short intro with the student, and build my examples around your interests and goals. That way you can get a better feel on what kind of mindset in needed for this job and how to think about all the underlying details and decisions in modeling the problem you want to implement in software.

You are free to records the classes, as long as it is for your personal use only. I even encourage this, as it proved beneficial to students to be able to rewind the class at some later time when the planted idea finally starts growing.

## A bit about me and my expertise ##

Worked as a teacher at high school and college, and as an instructior in courses for individuals and companies, covering ages 15-60. Designed most of courses on my own.

Industry experience covers 15+ years of various web development projects, including web portals, ecommerce and back office software, based on PHP stack and Joomla CMS.

Currently pursuing a doctorate in computer engineering.

Proud to highlight some comments that students wrote in a survey last year:
-excellent choise of assistant for this course, couldn't be better
-excellent assistant, vibe on classes is great. Usefull knowledge with a grain of humour
-Petar is probably the best teacher I met in my education so far. Recordings of his classes should be provided to younger and less experienced assistants.

    In this course I will guide you through the process of website creation in PHP.
    Together, we will build a simple website with admin panel - basic features, but useful in real life for some small business.
    We will cover html&css basics, intro to bootstrap (it really makes life easier), get a grasp of mysql and relational databases, and write a lot of PHP code. I will briefly introduce you to javascript and ajax, and jquery plugins (makes a wonder in admin UI).
    You will learn all the CRUD (create,read,update,delete) actions and how to implement them in PHP.
    We will cover some basic security issues and build a simple login system for administration interface.
    A special emphasis will be put on where to find and how to use documentation, so to make you a self-sufficient, independent craftsman, able to grow your skills.

    In short - we will introduce you to basics of all the needed elements, in a way that you can both build some websites and build up your skills from there.

    ##### Who is this for
    Anyone with some basic coding skills - nothing fancy, if you know how to print numbers 1-10 in a for loop you're good. I can create a "total beginner" course per request, with additional sessions for basic programming concepts in PHP.

    ##### Topics covered
    html, css, bootstrap, html templates, javascript, ajax, jquery plugins, php, mysql, crud, sql injection, relational databases, cookies and sessions

    ##### How we work
    zoom/skype/meet online meeting with share screen, 2/3 times a week in 1.5 hour sessions
    We will define a project, based on your interests/needs, and build it step by step. I introduce you to new stuff, show you how it's done, and give you assignments to work on your own until next session. We review your work and put some more time into that if needed. We go as fast as you can, no need to rush things, but also no need to drag our feet.

    ##### How can you tell this works well
    I've done this same course in more than 30 groups so far, with no bad student impressions. If it worked for them, hopefully will work for you as well.
    I am open to a short intro meeting.

    We will cover some theoretical concepts, in an informal way - to make it easy to understand and see how and why it fits into practice, and I will direct you to formal knowledge base so you can build from there.
    We will use phpmyadmin and/or mysql workbench, but I am happy to adapt to whatever you prefer - as long as it can speak sql we are good.

    I am open for an intro meeting.
