PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor) is a cross-platform scripting language that is particularly well-suited for Web development. In this Capstone students will start by learning the fundamentals of the PHP language. They will learn how to set PHP up on a server and continue through most of the common server-side functionality. The course uses a MySQL database, and there is a demonstration of how to use PHP to work with other databases as well. In the second half of the week, students will be introduced to advanced aspects of PHP 5 and how to best leverage its object oriented capabilities. They will learn about design patterns and will review tools and techniques that contribute to best practices when developing programs using PHP.

By the end of the class students will be able to:

  • Set up PHP and a MySQL database
  • Understand and write syntactically correct PHP
  • Read and write files on the server
  • Connect to a database
  • Understand Object-Oriented Programming and UML
  • Put objects to work
  • Work with design patterns
  • Implement event driven programming
  • Design and develop a robust reporting platform
