Do You Want PHP Video Tutorials?

Is there a demand out there for PHP video tutorials? What sorta of things would you like? Basics, or making useful applications. Eg a user system.

They would be recorded with fully commentary, no 12 year old text file crap.

 

I'm sure there is a demand, personally I know PHP very well so I wouldn't use them. I would do some general tutorials and then some niche applications (member-only system, content management system, file upload, contact form, captcha) would probably attract both beginners and some people with PHP experience.

 

Thanks for the reply.

Any other opinions?
Or tutorial requests?

 

I could help make the videos...I am good at PHP. I can do everything from forums to making image manipulators

 

Ive had a few people IM me about this, I need more posts in the thread though.

What types of videos do you want?

 

Probably varies on the subject at hand...Perhaps focusing on principles instead of projects would be more beneficial...So for example: show parts of the project and then in the end it all comes together.

 

I would like a case study. A project, from the beginning to the end. What are the requirements, why the programmer chose a certain function / approach. I saw a lot of "Hello World" examples. I would like something useful, for a change.

 

What about a php emailer like were you can set how many emails it sends and stuff i guess like an email bomber

 

In this very special chapter of PHP Video Tutorials, we're gonna cover email bombers. This is a necessary tutorial for all aspiring spammers.

Personally, I think a video tutorial on this subject is overkill and mostly unnecessary, but apparently, there is a market:

If you'd like to follow these, email me

Ill keep you updated and let you know when/where theyre released.

 

videos would be better then reading

 

If you can't read, should you really be trying to code?

 

So any requests?

I might skip the basics as they can be easily learnt..

 

I have been looking at a few different php video tutorial sites lately and i have to say, i reckon it is the best way for a beginner to learn php (but that's just my opinion)

A detailed video is as good as having a teacher beside you BUT you must comment on every line of code or else the beginner will just move to the next site. Remember if you are making a complete beginners tutorial you need to start off by explaining that you have to start your code with <?php and end with ?>

If users think that TutorialVideo1 is too easy, then they will simply move on to TutorialVideo2 BUT be aware, if you don't follow the approach i am using, users who do not understand what you are doing will simply look for another site that explains it alot easier

IMO - start from the start and then work up, at least that way users have the option of going all the way back to the start (and use your mouse to explain what each line of code does in PLAIN ENGLISH (NOT COMPLEX ENGLISH LIKE SOME BOOKS DO)

best of look, i think they are a great idea when done well

 

Ive started a series on making a PHP/MySQL user system, the first few lessons are already done. Its not aimed at beginners, but on the other hand really experienced programmers arent going to learn anything from it.

 

Programming tutorials are always in demand, whether it's in text or video format.

 

Great, ill keep recording them then. Remember if you want updates just email me last.karrde+phpvideotutorial@gmail.com

 

knowfreedotnet offers video tutrials

 

Not their own though.

 

phpvideotutorials.com has some fairly comprehensive tutorials, the free ones get you into the basics, and the paid tutorials show you how to create real world applications with the knowledge you should have picked up
Having said that, theres always a demand for real world application examples and guides
