Building Web Applications in PHP

Web Applications for Everybody,

In this course, you'll explore the basic structure of a web application, and how a web browser interacts with a web server. You'll be introduced to the request/response cycle, including GET/POST/Redirect. You'll also gain an introductory understanding of Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), as well as the basic syntax and data structures of the PHP language, variables, logic, iteration, arrays, error handling, and superglobal variables, among other elements. An introduction to Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) will allow you to style markup for webpages. Lastly, you'll gain the skills and knowledge to install and use an integrated PHP/MySQL environment like XAMPP or MAMP.

dr. chuck

!Thanks Dr. Chuck As always with Dr Chuck in the driving seat, the course is sure to deliver exactly what it promised!!!

Thanks Dr. Chuck!

However, you have to maintain at least 8 hours of focused learning per day to ensure that you understand what Dr. Chuck is offering.

However, more study needed to master syntax and get used to the language at this point, is not that now I feel I can go ahead and start developing stuff but I feel I can easily understand something I see, a snippet or something I add to one of y websites, Dr. Chuck does what so many - including Codecademy - fail to do: teach a programming language while making sure his students really understand its context and use.

To top that off, Dr. Chuck takes care to guide his students through the perks, quirks, and nuances of each language.All in all, as someone who's failed to really engage myself in learning a new programming language after fiddling around with others for so long - since "beginner" courses tend to be light on everything but syntax - this course was nothing short of perfect for me.

Thanks, Dr. Chuck!

Great overview of the language, and Dr. Chuck gives you a great initial look at how PHP works.

Good lecturer A good cours with a good teacher thank you Dr Excellent course for beginners Another "hit" from Dr. Chuck ( AKA Prof. Charles Severance) , this guy and his team are amazing.

The lectures are great, and Dr. Chuck shows us the history background of web making which makes us see the bigger picture and understand the logic better.

Dr. Chuck and his team are so amazing...

I took this class specifically because Dr. Chuck is teaching it, and I learned so much.

web applications

I loved this course, it puts nicely togather different aspects of web applications.

Very good for people with basic knowledge of programing languages (Python is recomended) and close do no knowledge on HTML, CSS and Web Applications Outstanding!

Very good teacher, I have learn a macro view on how web applications work.

In my opinion the course needs whether more challenging exercises, or change the name "Building Web Applications in PHP" by "Understanding Web Applications in PHP".

Excellent introductory course in php web applications.

Charles Severance is a great teacher, and shows how easy it is to get into coding and start using the tools that creats the biggest web applications to date.

I would recommend this class to anybody who is interested in learning more about web applications.

Instructor Dr.Chuck has a great and clear way.The course is very good to start using PHP in building web applications.

The videos, reading materials and all the relevant assignment has helped me clear my doubts and has taught me a lot of important concepts which I can use in real-life web applications.
