Hey everyone, welcome back to the channel! In this series, I'm going to show you how to build an Instagram Clone from scratch. We're talking about a complete, full-stack web application. I'll be using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP, and on the database side, we'll be working with MySQL. I know a project like this can seem ambitious, but it's super important for beginners to take on a challenge like this to truly grow as developers.
This won't just be a single-page app; we're building a full-on multi-page application. You'll need to think in terms of different pages, different routes, and how they all interact with one another. Plus, I'll be adding in user authentication and authorization, which means implementing sign-ups, logins, and all the key aspects of a functional user system. This is a big leap from simpler projects, and you'll get to learn some of the best practices for storing user data securely, managing cookies, sessions, and everything else that makes an app like this robust.
Since this is a pretty lengthy project, I've decided to break it down into bite-sized episodes. You can expect shorter, digestible videos but more frequent uploads, so you'll be able to follow along step-by-step without feeling overwhelmed. Today, we’re starting off by Creating createPosts method— which is just one small but exciting part of our overall journey to cloning Instagram.
