Check out the course outline, free preview videos, and read some of the reviews that my other courses got:

“Real world course, made by a developer for developers, and very well explained. Learner knows ALL what he does, and why! Congratz!!!”

“I’ve taken a few different Udemy courses now with various instructors. I’ve found that I like Piotr’s teaching style the best out of all the instructors I’ve taken. He has the right balance of coding and in depth explanation, which is exactly what I was hoping to get when I purchased this course. Piotr provides some excellent insight into the inner workings of Symfony and does an awesome job of showing how you would begin to build a larger application utilizing the proper Symfony components. Symfony is a huge framework and I don’t think I would’ve been able to dig into the documentation and take it apart as quickly on my own. I highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to get their hands dirty and jump right into the meat of how Symfony works.”

“Really good course, i learned a lot. Keep up the good job!!”

“Great course! Really liked how the instructor included production deployment in the course. It was helpful!”

“Very detailed explanation. I’m loving it!”

“Amazing course! In-depth explanations, perfect talking pace, talks slow and is direct to the point. I had no previously knowledge in Symfony before starting, and this course gave me the confidence to start developing real world apps using Symfony. You will learn a lot of the Symfony framework, and some other cool techniques like Ajax Calls, Testing, Server configuration and Continous Deployment of your code.”
