Description
Want to know how to code a blog from scratch? Well, if you know PHP basics, then this course is just the one for you. Here you will learn how to make a blog using PHP and MySQL. But that's not all: you will also learn how to use Bootstrap to make it stylish.
Custom CMS
Today there are a lot of choices for bloggers: Wordpress, Joomla, Drupal, or if you want something straightforward, there's Blogger, Tumblr, and others. But that is not very exciting: sure, these systems offer ways to make the blog more personal, but nothing beats a blog built just according to your needs. You get to know all the nooks and crannies so that you can tinker everything to your liking.
Also, when you make a blog CMS, this is a big step in moving towards a professional PHP developer career. Why? Because you get to see the everyday reality of a developer, see the most common challenges and learn to overcome them. That's why this course can not only teach you how to code a blog from scratch, but also give you a boost in your developing career. But for that to happen, you must follow the course carefully and do all of the exercises diligently.
Making the blog
Each lecture will give you a push towards a grand custom CMS:
- You will work with the database: you will know how to create it, add entries, and more. This is where MySQL comes in handy.
- You'll work on how to make a blog presentable and functional by combining your PHP skills with Bootstrap styling. Don't worry; you don't have to know how to use Bootstrap before the course: we will teach you how to use it during the lectures.
- An essential part of making a blog, especially with custom CMS, is making the blog's admin panel user-friendly. You will learn how to properly make the login-logout system, track admin activities, create the functionality of approving/deleting comments, categories, posts, and more.
Make a blog with proper UX
User experience is significant for the blog's usability. You can split it into two main parts:
- Functionality: the presence of needed functions, buttons, menus, navigations. You can't have a proper user experience if some of these are missing. After all, if a user comes and is not able to do what they want, what kind of a website is this?
- Design: the styling of the website. Sure, the buttons and all are important, but how can you use them if you can't find them? That is why, in this course, we will also talk about how to use Bootstrap when you need to code a blog from scratch. You will discover how using Bootstrap together with PHP can help you to create the perfect UX/UI for blog users and make it easier for the public to interact with it.
So you can see that we are going to help you build a custom CMS that will not only develop your skills but also be user-friendly. And making user-friendly websites is what PHP developers need to know how to do (even if they are not designers).
Choose this course if you want to make a blog yourself: not using Wordpress, Joomla, or any other blogging platform. Take your next step in PHP developer career and learn how to code a blog from scratch.
