About the course

Under the expert guidance of SitePoint’s own Kevin Yank, you’ll find the combination of digestible audio, video and mini-articles with a supportive forum of classmates to be so much fun, you won’t even realise how much you’ve learned by the time you’re done.

“I am a couple of days away from finishing your PHP course which is brilliant. I had never done any website stuff ever before and just did it out of curiosity. I thought it would all be vastly complicated but it is so easy to follow and now I know how it all works, the way you taught it is faultless.” —Jamie Robinson, Student
