How does it work

There are dozens of exercises in every Codenga course. You will find five types of exercises: Multiple choice, Blocks ordering, Fill in the blanks, LiveCode and TrueCode.They will test different aspects of your knowledge. You will be tasked with writing code, finding errors, choosing optimal solutions for a given problem and more.

Every chapter starts with a short presentation written in a simple, plain language. Its purpose is to introduce new concepts and techniques. Then you are tasked with the exercises. You can go back to the presentation at any time. You can also make an unlimited number of attempts when it comes to solving exercises.

It all boils down to a simple, yet very effective learning method:
 1. Learn the theory
 2. Practice with exercises
 3. Repeat until you feel confident with your skills

Why you should expand your knowledge of PHP

PHP powers about 78% of web applications. It’s basically everywhere; from simple web pages to complex, corporate management systems. PHP has always got its fair share of criticism yet it continues to be a language that offers great job opportunities. It is strange but it works! If you have ever considered back-end development as a career you could do much worse than learning to code in PHP.
