PHP Course Details:

Abstract:
This class is a thorough, hands-on introduction to generic (open source) PHP. Students will become proficient and comfortable coding applications with dynamic Web-based user interfaces. Students are expected to attend 6 evening sessions, each lasting approximately 2.5 hours. Each session will include lecture and lab comments, with students working on a number of assignments and labs. The classes will be conducted at labs in the Seneca School of Computer Studies at York University Keele Street Campus. The Seneca systems provide access to both SUSE Linux cluster and IBM i environments.

Target Audience:
