| This course is a fast paced introduction to the PHP
language intended for people with some Web content development
experience. Students will learn the syntax and conventions of the
PHP language, and will then create web sites using PHP. Techniques
for using PHP to make a web site interact with a database, and for
producing content management systems will be covered.
The course will cover scripting techniques used in web
programming focusing primarily on PHP. An attempt will be made to
integrate browser-based markup languages and server- side techniques.
Students will be expected to conduct out of class research
concerning the programming techniques demonstrated in class. They
must learn to coordinate their use of various languages
(PHP, HTML, XML, SQL). The final project will consist of a
personal project that demonstrates knowledge they have
developed.
There is not an imperative to use all the
techniques! There will be a comprehensive test covering the topics
that are present in both lecture and lab sessions. (See Assignments.)
