Regular Expressions for Beginners - Universal

Learn to use Regular Expressions (Regex) in all programming languages and tools the easy way with Edwin Diaz

What this course is? 

This course is universal, meaning that the regular expression material you learn here will be applicable in most if not all regular expression engines. 

Of course there will be some variations when we are implementing regular expressions in different engines, let's say PHP over Javascript, but the core fundamentals and how you do regular expression stays the same everywhere. 

Regular expressions are also called Regex, Regexp or Regexes, so we will be probably be using this vocabulary since it's easier to pronounce and is what we commonly use in the programming community.

We will learn how to implement regular expressions in Javascript and PHP but these lectures are done for demonstration on how Regexes are used in programming languages.

Who this course is for? 

New developers that want to learn regular expressions.

Frustrated developers who had issues learning it before.

Any developer who is serious about their programming career.

Some information about the course structure!

We will start slow with the most basic regular expression functionality, like searching and matching, learning what each of the symbols do and how to use them to do what we need.

After we learn the most basic things, we will start with more complex operations and real worlds solutions. I always try keep the lectures short so that the material is easy to digest. 

At the end of every section we are going to have some practice code so that we can re-enforce everything for that section.
