PHP for Beginners

This 2-day PHP programming course is designed to enable web developers and other beginners with limited programming experience to build dynamic e-commerce web sites with the PHP programming language. As PHP is a rich and task-specific language, this course will cover some of the most important range of functions in depth, and allow delegates to understand the remaining less crucial aspects. The contents of this PHP course are similar to our 3-day “PHP for Programmers” course, just that it is adjusted to accommodate the needs of public delegates as well as non-programmers. At the instructor's discretion, some modules printed on the training material may be skipped if the pace is slightly slower than expected.

• Understand web application programming principals
