Glad you enjoyed my first course! I'm just now starting to plan the next course, which will be an extension of the Shirts 4 Mike site. We'll be putting together a schedule for the releases in the next few weeks. You can check the Roadmap to see upcoming releases, and I'll post here again once we have that schedule announced.

There's tons of ways you can can expand your Mike's T-shirts site now that you've built it.

You can:

  1. Bring your Mike's T-shirts site into the mobile world with responsive design
  2. Next add some CSS3 animation using Transitions to your Mike's T-shirts site
  3. After that you can add some interactivity using JQuery to your Mike's T-shirts site
var_dump($_POST);
$name = $_POST["name"];
$email = $_POST["email"];
$message = $_POST["message"];

echo $name;
echo $email;
echo $message;

?>```

Hey Randy,

Can you take these ideas into consideration for future PHP courses?

  1. Importance of Sanitization, Why It needs to be done, How can it be done and When are specific instances when one needs to Sanitize.

  2. This might be to super advanced, but Object Oriented PHP tut would be awesome since a lot out their are really confusing.

  3. Using current team treehouse chops to create a PHP shopping cart with Magento.

  4. Understanding PHP frameworks and implementation (Laravel, Code Igniter)

Thanks for the suggestions, @Alejandro. I'll probably cover sanitization in the first video I do next. :~) The next version of the project will be at an intermediate level, so we won't be talking about object-oriented programming yet ... but I hope to do that in the advanced project after that. We also have plans to talk about PHP frameworks in the project after that.

I'll pass along the suggestion about Magento: that's probably not something I would teach, but it seems like a good idea to me!

Hello guys!

Please consider the following idea:

-- A project with emphasis in a CRUD system, maybe a ficticious company with employees, clients, products, sales, etc.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the request, @Cesar! My next two projects will still be focused on dynamic websites like the Shirts 4 Mike site, but we'll be covering more advanced techniques. (We'll have the next project added to the roadmap any day now.)

After that, we are planning to use a PHP framework to build a CRUD-like application. I'll keep your list of objects in mind! :~)

I realize this is thread is 3 months old, but I wanted to add my voice for courses on OOP (and MVC would be stellar!). I've been pounding my head against a wall (sometimes literally) trying to apply OOP and MVC to my current projects, it's not going very well.

In the meantime if anyone has recommended resources geared at beginners I would super appreciate it.
