Best PHP tutorial on youtube. Thank you

Saw your post on reddit asking for review. I just want to say, ignore Redditor's. This is THE BEST php Video on Youtube. You expertise reflects in how you explain things. You are awesome. This video is a gem, don't care about the views, not everyone has the eyes to recognise a gem.

Hope you take out time to for more such videos, May be small screencast that would give insight into the lang.

Again, I want say you are awesome, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

This is awesome! I would say if you can teach how to do quality coding in php like how to write performance tuning foreach loops. how can we reduce code lines and execute more?
and Advance course considering PHP 8 would be super useful.
