Class Link: PHP & MySQL Beginner’s Guide: Part I - Introduction To PHP

Are you a designer looking to integrate a new front end into an existing site that uses PHP ? Are you a student looking to move toward a development career? Then, PHP can help you on your way.

Welcome to PHP and MySQL Beginner’s Guide. In this course, I’ll guide you as you take your first steps beyond the static world of building web pages with the purely client-side technologies of HTML and CSS.

Together, we’ll explore the world of building dynamic websites, and discover the amazing array of dynamic tools, concepts, and possibilities they open up.

If you are completely new to programming and embarking on your first interactive website, you are in the right place. This first part will give you a gentle introduction to the syntax of the PHP language and basic programming topics as they apply to PHP. This powerful language, used by more than 80% of websites, is not just for small projects, many major sites run it as a core language, such as Facebook, Yahoo!, and Wikipedia.

By the end of this class you will have a solid grasp of PHP. You will have confidence in writing PHP scripts to start building dynamic websites and kickstart your career in web development.

Make sure you download source code in the project section of the class and participate in answering the quiz at the end. It can be helpful in helping you master PHP.

I would love to read your feedback and your reviews! I look forward to seeing your PHP scripts in the project section or the community section of this class.

Happy learning :)
