Course Overview
Hack PHP Dependency Management, Master Composer a Modern PHP Development Tool and Learn to Create your own PHP Packages
In this series, you will learn how to manage PHP project dependencies using Composer.
In modern PHP development, Composer has become an indispensable tool that has aided the rapid development of the PHP Language.
Composer is a dependency manager for PHP (a tool used for installing, updating, and managing libraries that your project depends on).
It is used in almost all modern PHP frameworks, such as Symfony, CakePHP, and Laravel. Composer is one of the most highly recommended tools that solve fundamental issues in many web projects.
Hack PHP Dependency Management, Master Composer, a Modern PHP Development Tool, and Learn to Create your PHP Packages.
Some problems that Composer solves include:
Resolving dependencies for PHP packages
autoloading solution for PHP packages
keeping all packages updated
Most PHP packages are built on top of other well-known PHP packages; a typical example is Symfony components which form the bedrock for many PHP frameworks such as Laravel. Composer developers can reuse stable PHP libraries, and Composer will automatically handle dependency resolution. When you install a package, it will automatically install all the required dependencies for you.
Some of the benefits of using Composer include the following:
Quickly integrate libraries from vendors like AWS, Stripe, Pusher, Algolia, and others.
Ability to use ready-made packages that solve everyday problems. Do you need a validation package? Search for validation on packagist and get started right away. Do you need to handle "date"? Search for Carbon on packagist and get started right away.
Autoload all your files and classes using Composer's autoloading feature
keeping all packages updated
Composer is a fantastic tool that significantly speeds up the development of PHP projects. Ready to take your PHP SKILLS to the next level?

Nice course. It spends some time teaching php as well, which I was not looking for. Overall it covers the basics of composer and 1 or 2 advanced concepts, such as script (high-level overview). Thank you for the course.

After finished: The Overall is just an OK course, because courses with words like ultimate or complete, i expect to be detailed about the topic. If your are a beginner, this course will be enough, even that version of composer used is not in v2. Positive: - Learn how to submit / publish a package to packagist - I learn something new in section 3. Negative: - No very detailed course, when you mention as ultimate course - it is outdated ( last was in 2018), it is still using v1 of composer where current is v2.5.1 ( at the time of write this) - some videos could be separated in two or more videos, - section 1. missing to show how update a packages to specific version via composer command - section 1, lesson 8: expect to be more detail like psr-0, classmap, etc and in separated videos - section 2: beside a simple lib without external deps, should exist another example with external deps - section 2: didint show, beside restrict the php version, how to indicate in packagist / composer related to our lib, which external deps is required and which is as required-dev or add suggests , in case of need it.

In the case of the bash command, those need to be updated. The same case for the mailer package. In some part, was confuse to me the user of the pull, fetch or push and the origin and master reposotory.
