CakePHP 3 for Beginners

Larry L.

Instructor's presentation was much, much, much too fast. No human being could ever type and create files that fast. Also instructor failed to give information as to why the material is important, give examples of where it would be useful, etc. I am very knowledgeable of Yii and Laravel's configuration files. Yet, he had me lost in his presentation of CakePHP's basic configuration. Also, this is probably not the appropriate point at which to present that information.

Many of the lectures begin with the instructor saying that you would never use what is presented in this lesson but it will serve to illustrate the concept. (For example the unit of Virtual Properties began this way. Virtual Properties is one of the most important concepts in any PHP framework. It is absolutely essential to building anything constructive with CakePHP. Yet, the instructor presents it in a way that is totally useless.)

Each topic in the "course" stands alone and does not reinforce what was introduced in previous topics. Along the way, you don't build anything at all, let alone something that would have a hypothetical usefulness.

There is no emphasis on the basic concepts of adult learning. Things are just presented at a breakneck pace, hurriedly with no discussion of how they might be used, the potential traps or errors, and so on. Learning requires constructive engagement and practice, reinforcement, and the opportunity for the learning to test their understanding and ability to put to practical use what they have learned. There is absolutely none of that in this course.

The name of the organization must be changed from IOLearn. For them, anything with the term "learn" in it is totally fraudulent. There is no learning in this course.

It is far away from beginner's level. It is like tutor want to finish it.

I really enjoy the course, I just wish there was a bit more content, and maybe a little more in depth explanations. I've used this beginner course extensively to help me learn, understand, and navigate cakePHP. Also thank you for not just creating a course from the CookBook like everyone else.

A quantidade de conteúdo precisa ser maior, estou precisando fazer uma atualização da versão do framework em site feito em Cake e não foi falado NADA a respeito, de modo que não me ajudou em nada para a minha real necessidade e único motivo pelo qual fiz o curso, pois estou precisando atualizar um site em Cake e fiz o curso apenas por esse motivo.

Very basic for its price. Shouldn't cost more than 5$.

But explanations good in general.

Moves too fast and doesn't explain the "why" behind the concepts.

very confusing course. I have to look at each video over and over again. Very hard to understand what is really important and what is not.
