Advanced PHP Web Development
Why PHP and MySQL?
The combination of PHP and the MySQL database now provides the most widely used solution for creating dynamic websites. Together with the Apache web server, these Free software applications provide the foundation for many standard web hosting plans. During the course you will learn how to hand code a dynamic website, using a development environment on your local computer that matches the server environment where your site will eventually be hosted.
