Killer PHP lessons for
Web designers
Lessons and videos created for Web designers beginning to learn PHP
Welcome to killerphp.com!
I created this website to teach PRACTICAL PHP to non-nerd web designer types. Because of the nature of the Web today (Web 2.0, Ajax, shopping carts etc ...), PHP is now one of the key languages that I believe every web designer should learn. You could say in fact, that PHP is one of the four pillars of web design:
- HTML
- CSS
- PHP
- Javascript
... Oh yea, PHP is more important and is used more often than even Javascript!
Thanks for stopping by,
Stefan Mischook

Object Oriented (OOP) PHP Video Tutorials
Object oriented PHP is the modern style of PHP programming that the PHP world is quickly moving into.
You don't need to learn OOP techniques to use PHP effectively ... but if you want to:
- really take advantage of PHP,
- understand many of the free PHP programs out there,
- or just code with the 'pros',
... you're going to need to learn OOP in PHP.

The Zend Framework is the predominant PHP web application framework.

Take all the beginners PHP videos home!
Although the videos are free to watch on this site, many have asked to be able to be take the videos home with them ... for offline viewing.
It took me a few months to get around to it (and a day to actually get it done!) You can now pick up the videos either by download or on DVD. These versions of the videos are rendered in very high quality Quicktime video format.
