Alex Bowers started his programming career learning PHP and MySQL, for a small project that he wanted to complete. Two years later, he had completed the project and become a bonifide PHP and mySQL expert.   Alex was hooked- he just couldn’t get enough of coding. This was the beginning of a life long passion for programming.

Since then, Alex has dedicated his time to teaching others. He started teaching in 2009 on YouTube, under the name `TheTutSpace`, teaching PHP and MySQL. Since then he has moved on to teach jQuery, Javascript and HTML / CSS.  Alex’s primary expertise is in web development, but he has also dabbled in Android and iOS.

Alex’s style is very much compatible with LearnToProgram.tv’s mission: to provide  easy to access technical education for students worldwide. Traditional classroom teaching is passé for Alex:  His goal is to teach thousands of students he has never met from all countries and cultures.

Since Alex began teaching, he has been an administrator on a hugely successful forum, PHPacademy. Alex has also authored and produce content for various other educational sources all over the net.
