PHP/SQL 3: Seamless Web 2.0 Integration
Learn Dynamic Programming Techniques — Use PHP and MySQL for Dynamic Web Sites
Success in the Web 2.0 world depends on a successful user experience. To create a robust and scalable web site, the Database Programmer cannot focus merely on programming; rather, he/she must design for all the possible environments and choices the user can make, as well as for the goals of the website itself--whether organizational or personal. Storing data is important, but just as important is how that data is gathered, organized and presented.
In this course, students will learn advanced User Interface techniques using PHP and SQL, and will learn to build a dynamic website as a whole, using efficient and reusable code and seamlessly integrating Web 2.0 patterns, object-oriented PHP, and other technologies and techniques.
From beginning to end, participants will learn by doing their own SQL-based projects using PHP, and then handing them in for instructor feedback. These projects, as well as the final project, will add to each student's portfolio and will contribute to certificate completion. Upon completion of the course, students will earn 4 CEUs (Continuing Education Units) and a CEU letter from the University of Illinois Office of Continuing Education. This course counts toward the PHP/SQL Programming Certificate series.
