Summary

Over five hours of video instruction that shows how to build dynamic, database-driven web sites. bull; Designed to engage viewers quickly: they will have their first web application up and running within 40 minutes. bull; Learn by building real applications including a state-of-the-art photo-sharing Website . bull; Starts with the basics (installation on multiple platforms) and ends with more advanced topics (PHP functions, arrays, object-oriented programming). Also covers core website features. PHP continues to be one of the key building-block technologies of the Web. Though it started as a way for non-programmers to add dynamic features to websites, it has quickly evolved into an industrial-strength programming framework. Large companies, including IBM, are behind the drive to move PHP into the IT mainstream. This video course will consist of roughly five and a half hours of instruction broken up into twenty lessons. The course will begin with the installation and use of the PHP language, including all the object-oriented features in PHP 5. It will then cover creating and working with databases, and will finish off with features that you will use to create your web applications. There will be tons of sample code, and two major samples that we will build on throughout the lessons -- a calculator application for the first half, and a photo uploading / sharing system for the second half.
