I'm currently about to begin lesson 15, But I've felt compelled to write a review, something I rarely do. My reason for using these video lessons was less of a learning tool and more of a "Ok, Definatly know that now." Type of thing, as Ive been studying PHP and a little mysql for the past 3 weeks, at 5-9 hours a day as I'm jobless so things have moved right along. Back to my point Although using this as a Review tool, Ive learned quite a few things here and their. The teacher is very concise RARELY messes up what he is saying, if he never did it would be like listening to a robot. By messes up I mean, says one wrong key word, then instantly corrects himself, nothing big. For me, some video tutorial teachers / sound quality of the video is annoying. This has been a pleasure to listen to. But to point out 2 things, sometimes its hard to follow him as he moves very fast in explanations of the programs as they get bigger and bigger. At first I thought I just didn't understand the material in the particular video, but sure enough If I rerun the video and pay extra close attention no distractions , I completely understand what's going on. The second thing I'd like to point out which may just be me, but he has either, the Technically correct pronounciation for certain words, or just likes saying things different, For instance Zebra = zeb-ra to him, I've always pronounced it Zee-Bra. Giga= jigga to him but to me I thought it was GIG-a. But that last bit isn't anything big I just thought it was funny.(I ususally pronounce things wrong so Its probably me).
OVERALL- Perfect Review material, and you'll learn something too, It may be a good learning tool but as I already know most of PHP syntax and how to use it and basics of MySQL, Its hard for me to judge weather or not this is a good Beginner source, I assume it is , if you don't mind pausing the videos to try out the syntax he teaches.

"Best Self Learn PHP I have tried" - by Greg on 06-AUG-2010
Reviewer Rating:
I have tried countless books, and all the videos on Safari. This is by far the clearest and best organized. SAM teach yourself in 24 hours is OK, but it is pretty outdated.
Marc took me from knowing almost nothing about PHP to being competent at writing my own basic web applications.
