This is a course about useful clean code principles.
My aim is to teach you concepts that you can use every time you write code.

Clean Code can help you:

- Write better PHPcode and thus become a better PHP programmer

- Create easy to maintain projects

- Perform better during interviews by showing knowledge of advanced programming concepts

The course has PHPexamples and Isometimes mention things like Symfony and MVC.

The course is structured in 4 parts:

1. Introduction - where we discuss what is clean code and why it's important

2. Small Functions - I gave small functions an entire section because I think its one of the most important principles of clean code, together with small classes, Single Responsibility Principle and Not crossing Different Levels of Abstraction.

3. Clean code:Fundamental Principles - I discuss here about fundamental things like method and variables names, parameters, comments and exceptions

4. Clean code: Advanced Principles - Here I talk about more abstract topics like the difference between an OOP Object and a Data Structure Object, Composition over Inheritance, Symptoms of Bad Code, State, Low Coupling - High Cohesion, Command and Query Separation, Tell Don't Ask, The Law of Demeter, YAGNI and more.

The course also contains some memes because you can't spell clean code without fun.

I tried to focus on things you can use every day when programming and stay away from barren theory.
There's no point wasting our time with useless knowledge that would just seem like it's helping you as a programmer, but that you will forget in 2 weeks.
If that would have been the point, this would be a 10 hours course about programming patterns.
But it isn't.

I tried to make the course full of useful information but not too long.
If you invest as little as two hours of your life in this course, about the time you would spend watching a movie, you will become a much better developer.
