The PHP I: Foundation Course

Foundations course is designed to provide non-programmers with a solid foundation in the PHP language. This course guides you through the basics of PHP with an experiential approach, filled with numerous examples and hands-on exercises, including substantial practice in coding parts of a functional application – an online inquiry app. All of the exercises are designed to reinforce key language concepts.
You will also have the opportunity to use the Zend Studio PHP IDE (Integrated Development Environment) to start your coding adventures the easy and correct way!
This course is designed for those who want to learn the basics of the PHP language, and assumes some familiarity with web sites – what they are and the very basics of how they work – but no programming experience. Web designers who want to become PHP Developers would certainly benefit from this course. This class will provide you with a brief overview of concepts common to programming languages, and then teach you the rules and best practices of coding in the PHP language, at a beginning level.
