I have now taken Reece Kenney's - Spotify clone course and now his YouTube Clone course. I think the best complement I can give these courses is to say on the basis of these two courses, I have also signed up for Reece's - Build a social Network, Twitter clone and Whatsapp clone courses. This is a hugely practical and fulfilling way to learn Object Oriented PHP. It is easy to follow along. The instructor appears to explain concepts to allow a beginner to follow the course but I suspect it might be a bit much for beginners. I think the end product application of this course would be a very impressive addition to any portfolio. My reccomendation would be to take the Spotify clone course first. It seemed to me that this course was a bit more advanced than the Spotify course. I think having taken the Spotify course gave me the foundation to better learn some of the more advanced concepts in this course. As a result of the two courses I really feel I have learnt and then consolidated my understanding of PHP - OOP. It feels like being boosted up a level. I will feel quite confident in using this approach in applications outside this course. I am looking forward to starting the other three of Reece's courses I have signed up for. Before doing this I am taking a course on Ajax. Building the YouTube app relies quite heavily on sending and recieving data via JS/Ajax requests. For me personally, it was an area in the course I felt less confident in. I think Reece has a course on his own YouTube site, but I am already signed up with another Udemy course.
