| Description |
This course enables students to build dynamic database driven (e-commerce) web sites using the PHP programming language. The course is explicitly meant for students with limited or no programming experience and discusses basic programming building blocks needed to create interactive, dynamic websites. We do not address in depth discussions of for instance object oriented programming. PHP is an open source based programming language widely used on the Internet for both commercial and non-commercial websites such as Facebook. This course gives an introduction in programming with PHP in combination with some simple database techniques in order to be able to understand the working of dynamic websites. In the first week we will discuss step by step the features and main building blocks of PHP whereas in the second week a real life project will be implemented such as an online book store or an online cultural event calendar.
