Build Dynamic E-Commerce Websites

This two day PHP course is designed for programmers who want to build dynamic e-commerce web sites using the PHP programming language. Since PHP is such a rich and task-specific language, the course covers the most important range of functions and equips delegates to understand the remaining less essential aspects. Software developers with no PHP experience and possibly no web programming experience. Students must, however, have strong foundation in general programming.

Prerequisites

A basic working knowledge of HTML is presumed.
Some conceptual knowledge of how web servers and web browsers (clients) interact using HTTP
Good working knowledge of at least one programming language

Delegates are expected to have a basic understanding of accounts and a basic knowledge of working in a windows environment. Manuals that cover the day's topics will be provided to each delegate. Delegates are also encouraged to bring their own questions list for troubleshooting
