need guidance for back end development

I am having some trouble learning object oriented part of php. In the last four months I got to learn some html , css and some java basics and now I am trying to learn some php so that I can Build websites my self. But I am not having a good time learning object oriented part. So It would be great if anyone from community can guide me on how to clear my basics on OOP first or what else to learn prior to php ( if required).

And my final ultimate goal is to being able to design web apps and their android version using APIs

Well, you should start with understanding php. What are the problems you run into?

Is it the concept or is it just the coding itself?

thanks buddy the concept of object oriented programming it self. Basics are clear now but content quality of object oriented part of php is not so good. first course i had was amazing which was - how to make a simple website. This was a goal oriented course but course which covers php is just a load of information. I tried to understand the concept using youtube and others websites. that helped alot but i dont want to continue the php course on treehouse and if you know a better option for learning php then please guide me.

I think I am a horrible teacher, you could try other sources like codecademy. Maybe they explain it in a better way that suits you.

Or try a book maybe :)

Good luck
