This course is designed for students with a fundamental understanding of programming. We will spend some time reviewing PHP basics for students who are familiar with another language. We move on to commonly used linguistic constructs, talk about the web, learn Object Oriented principles, apply some commonly used design patterns, write queries against a MySQL instance, configure apache and install Symfony. We will then spend the rest of the class working on an e-commerce project, which will ultimately become a part of our portfolio.
