The dos and don'ts of UI design should be their first project. :)

And there are several don'ts in the slides too. Never give variables the same name as functions or other parts of the language.

They named their variables $int, $string and $bool...

In PHP it hardly matters, since variables have their own namespace. PHP is a lisp2.

It might matter to the human reading the code.

Well, sure, but that cuts both ways. :) It's convenient to have names like $bool and $int for didactic purposes, at least.
