5 PHP Projects That Will Guarantee You Get Hired | Web Developer Projects

hey guys in this video i'm going to give you five php projects that you can build that will guarantee you to get higher as a php developer all right so let's get started guys my name is joe santos aka codingface.com aka your boy listen in this video you're gonna get a lot of gems so make sure you subscribe and make sure you like this video if you feel that it's valuable to you so let's get started with the first one now the first one that we have here guys is create a wordpress theme right so i want you guys to take a html css website it doesn't matter if your website that you built yourself doesn't matter if it's a theme or a template right i want you guys to take that html css website and you convert it into a wordpress theme all right so that's the first thing that you want to do and then the second thing that you want to jump into is actually going to create a wordpress plugin which basically just means creating a web application that connects to the api of wordpress and then from there create this plugin could be something as simple as creating an image gallery and and that's pretty much it okay so again this is the first project project number two is build an app that is consuming an api what does that mean build an application that actually connects to some type of api that sends you data back and then from there you resolve or solve some type of problem or some type of issue so i'm going to give you guys a simple example so there's this website called tax rates io you can actually get an open api right and basically what happens is you do a request to that website with a zip code an address or a state or a country and it returns you back that data of the tax rates for that location so let's say for example you could create an application that has the latest yeezys it could be a easy 360 dollars and then you go in you take that 360 dollars you send the data to that tax rate io api with the zip code and then we'll tell you back how much is it that you're supposed to be charging for taxes on that sneaker so it's a simple application right i'm just giving you guys a simple one but there's a whole bunch of open apis that you guys can use to actually achieve this project okay so again build an application that's consuming an api that's pretty much it all right guys so before we move on to number three i want you guys to check this out right i'm highlighting something here and it says react right why am i highlighting this because even though we are talking about php and we're talking about a backend language i want you guys to not slack on this learn html css and also learn a little bit of javascript and understand what react is it's the number one framework in the front end okay and a lot of companies are going to ask you hey do you know react you don't want to be that guy that just says hey i only know php that's what i'm good at it's like there's gonna be another guy that actually does no react and then they're gonna compare you too okay who has it who doesn't have it and who you think is gonna get higher the guy that most likely has some type of experience with react and understand how it actually works okay this is the number one framework that's out there so make sure at least you know the basics and you understand what it is okay guys by the way now that we're here make sure you hit the subscribe button and hit the notification bell show me some love i'm literally about to hit a hundred thousand subscribers and i need you i need you who's watching this and hearing this right now to actually subscribe to help me get there i will really appreciate it all right let's move on to number three number three create a rest api now this time around you're gonna be the one creating the uh basic server or basic application for others to consume your data so for example you could go in and do something the same way how there's the pokemon api or the star wars api you can go ahead and do the naruto api or you could do uh api for all of the different states and countries etc all right like you could create something like this think of anything that you would feel somebody would need right information from so create a rest api around that it doesn't really matter it's up to you i'm just giving you guys some random examples so you could have an idea but create a rest api for others to consume and have that on your portfolio that's really going to help you out in the long term and try to do this one without no framework so you can actually show that you can build this from the ground up and it was definitely even better if you can use object oriented programming so in case they go through your code they can see oh this kit really went in and actually set up a whole application on its own all right so definitely try to build that number four create a real estate website using php laravel in my sequel all right now this website that you're gonna be building doesn't have to have all of the features that a website like zillow.com might have but it should have the basics okay it should have something like this user authentication for a user to be able to register and be able to post different listings at the same time you want to go in and have a option for people to register and be able to save those listings so there's going to be one person who has the role of the administrator meaning the person that does the listings of houses or apartments and then there's gonna be another user who's gonna go to the website and save their listings okay to their own uh shopping list or their own wish list something as simple as that to build something like this is not that difficult to do phplarable already has a lot of great tools to allow you to do use authentication and help you out with migrations but the point of this project is to show that you can use laravel you can create an application from the ground up and at the same time that you have that experience of working with my sql setting up different type of uh databases and tables right so that's what you really want to show with this project because php laravel is super essential for you to become a higher php developer okay so you want to show that skill that's where you're going to find most of the jobs now number five is create a shopify application some of you guys might be thinking joe create a shopify application yes create a shopify application i'm gonna tell you why shopify is the number one platform right now for e-commerce everybody's switching over to shopify so at the same time you want to show that you can create applications within that platform not only does it show that you can go and create a full stack application but it also shows that you can work with more modern technologies like graphql and work with the apis that shopify already has laid out for you again this is going to open the doors for you to be able to apply to jobs that are for shopify development which is popping up all over the united states and all over the world okay like i said shopify is the number one platform right now so you want to get your hands in there all right so as you guys can see i just gave you guys a whole bunch of different projects i gave you guys projects with wordpress right we're talking about creating applications by itself vanilla php right no frameworks no nothing then from there we're talking about creating applications with laravel and then from there creating an application for the number one e-commerce platform right now with those five projects right there you're good to go okay that's gonna show your range as a developer as a php developer and it's exactly what people are looking for right now as we speak alright so if you
