This teacher is someone who roughly tells you what he does on the fly. Don't get me wrong, his knowledge of php is great. But he has literally nothing prepared. Not the information that he needs for the lessons, but also not where and when he records the lessons.

Information is a little scattered and presenter is hopping around quite a bit. Watching him moving/scrolling/highlighting content so fast is making me slightly nauseous. (Edit) Looks like my review has not been made public which is disappointing as I feel others should be aware before purchasing. But to add to the original review as I got further into the videos I was greatly annoyed that the Presenter chose noisy public places (assuming coffee shop/bar) to record the videos. As he lowered his voice to not disturb those around him, it made it nearly impossible to hear what he was saying. There's some good gems in the content, but with focus this course could be shrunk in half.

Hi Pierre, It's clear you are very knowledgeable with regard to PHP. However, your presentation of the code was very unorganized. In fact, it was so bad, that I gave up on watching the videos. I am an experienced PHP developer. However, the amount of refactors and sheer chaotic nature of the presentation was painful to watch. To be fair, the course started out good. I was a little disappointed because it went over some beginner topics that I wasn't interested in, but I thought it was nice of you to address that audience. You seemed pretty sharp, and were relatively on top of things. However, as soon as I got to the Helpers and Headers video, you sounded very sleep deprived, and made a significant number of errors. Granted, you corrected them, but it was time-consuming. Also, while using the IDE to refactor may be efficient, it's difficult to follow, even as an advanced dev without pausing the video to manually refactor. In any case, you seem like a bright guy, but just didn't take the time to polish this properly for mass release. I really feel like you could have done better. And I'm sad that I got my hopes up for a video that I paid for and will ultimately abandon. I wish you the best, and did learn a few things along the way. However, by the time I got to match and enum, I had simply lost hope. Maybe you just rushed this video to make some cash, but if you really care, hopefully this review helps.
