This course will teach you installation of MAMP and XAMPP, which you can learn through another PHP and MySQL courses and learn how to code web development projects. If you are a beginner in web development I would seek somewhere else to learn because some of the explanations will go over your head.

A few projects would make this course more interesting, however, since this is free I guess you get what you paid for.
