Modern PHP: OOP, SOLID & Design Patterns
From procedural PHP to objects you’d ship
For developers who write procedural PHP comfortably but freeze at class — bootcamp and self-taught devs, and anyone about to learn Laravel. Every pattern arrives with the pain it removes: problem before, shape after.
The problem
Sound familiar?
“I can write PHP, but every job wants OOP experience and I’ve never really understood classes.”
“I copied an interface from Stack Overflow, it worked, and I still couldn’t tell you why.”
“Every tutorial teaches class Animal. My actual code is a 400-line controller and no animal in sight.”
“Laravel feels like magic — and magic I can’t debug.”

What you walk away with
Not notes — artifacts you built yourself, ready to use on Monday.
A running plain-PHP project you built from scratch: strict types, enums, interfaces, polymorphism, PSR-4 autoloading, dependency injection
The same project refactored on Day 2: a god class taken through all five SOLID principles
Working Strategy, Factory Method, Adapter, Decorator, Facade and Observer — in your own domain code, not a slide
A symptom → pattern selection table you can use at work on Monday
