I like the course but so far there are no files with examples to download, one has to type everything off the screen

I've already installed what the course asks. A little bit more of info about PHP itself would be more interesting than installation tips.

I liked this course very much for 3 reasons: 1. It's truly oriented for beginners for both PHP and WP. 2. After completing the course I felt that I learn something which is what matters 3. Lessons are bite-sized and always include examples. There's a project for WP at the end. The reason I'm giving 3 1/2 stars is because the first project has nothing to do with PHP, it's just HTML disguised as PHP so there's no real PHP project. I'm glad I took this course and I recommend it for beginners only, otherwise you might get bored.
