Learn Symfony PHP Framework with my new course. It will take you all the way from installing Symfony to building a complete eCommerce store. We will explore routing, databases, static assets (Encore, SASS), forms and validation, email delivery and more.

Over on Udemy, I have launched an introductory teacher training course for those looking to expand their knowledge of mindfulness and teach it to others. You can preview the course here.

My new course is all about using the Heroku cloud hosting platform with Node.js. I already have a course on using PHP with Heroku, and not bragging, but it has Udemy’s “Highest Rated” badge. Okay, there is a little bragging. Hopefully, this one will receive the badge, too.

Preview the course on Udemy or watch the trailer below.

Editor’s note: This course has now been retired.

I’m pleased to announce my new course is now live: Mindfulness for Sleep & Insomnia.

Sleep is a tricky subject because the expectation of our ability to sleep has a big impact on whether we can. That means that sometimes simple tricks can work – but they can also disappear again just as fast. This course takes a different approach. It will change your relationship with sleep so that you stop seeing it as the enemy, and thus avoid activating your body’s stress response.

I’ve just released my new course, Overcoming Fear of Driving with CBT. Course trailer is below.

My new course on Doctrine ORM is now available. If you are a PHP developer, adding Doctrine to your CV is a much=sought-after skill to have, being used by Symfony and thousands of other projects.

I am pleased to announce the launch of my new course, Nutrition for Athletes.

I’m pleased to announce the launch of my new course, Introduction to CSS Grid. If you are a web developer that is not using grid yet, now is the time to jump on board before you get left behind. Grid is amazing: it is like flexbox on steroids. It is the thing that finally gives us everything we had in table-based layouts and lots more.

I’m pleased to announce my new course, Stripe Payments in PHP. It’s a 90-minute course that covers Stripe Checkout, API, Elements and Stripe.js: all the options you may want to use for integrating Stripe Payments into your website.

There are a couple of Stripe courses out there already. But a lot of them haven’t been updated for years and that is a problem because the EU is currently bringing in new some payment regulations across Europe called “Secure Customer Authentication”. This is a two-factor payment authorisation system in which your bank will text you a code (which is why your bank or credit card provider may have been nagging you to update your mobile number).

This course is fully up-to-date with Stripe’s new SCA-compliant APIs, as well as covering digital wallets such as Apple Pay and Google Pay.
