I know you came here for the cons so I will start there: 1) it is out of date and not update regularly in my opinion. (XAMP doesn't work for me at all like his, it has been several years, would expect it to be have been updated by now) 2) The projects do not work and there isn't even a way to see them live, even the readme.MD doesn't provide any clearcut guidance like it should for a course like this 3) the voice is so robotic it sounds, hard listen to at times.

If you want to learn modern PHP and eventually move to the Laravel ecosystem, this course is a great choice. It teaches the latest ways to build a raw PHP framework. Some sections might feel a bit robotic, but overall it’s well-structured with quizzes, exercises, and links to related blogs. I’d recommend it to anyone who wants to learn Laravel, as it works well as a PHP prerequisite. One suggestion: the OOP section could use more detail, with extra problems and a simple project. Since the framework, part of the course heavily focuses on OOP and best practices, it would be helpful to have an OOP project before starting the main project.
