Great class, short and to the point!
This course is REALLY essential for PHP developers because it helps you build fully-pledged manageable website with clean URLs. Dave never fail to provide such amazing courses like this. I highly recommend this course to anyone who has just started in PHP, this is really worth penny.

Great course! Thank you

I had never experienced a greater teacher than Mr. Hollingworth. This is where I come fisrt when I need to learn something new. He answers every question he is asked in a way that you can really understand. I only wish he made more courses on building projects with his MVC framework such Ecommerce, blogs, etc; even system administration or linux. NEVER STOP TEACHING, PLEASE. THANKS GOD I FOUND YOU!!!!!
