Subject Title
PHP Scripting

Subject Description

Students will be introduced to the skills necessary to design, code, and deploy a client-server web-based application. They will create a database driven value-added user-centric application built using PHP and utilizing an FSOSS XAMPP/LAMP development environment.  Students will learn to develop AJAX-ified applications, that must be deployed for both desktop and mobile platforms.

Solutions will utilize Object Oriented PHP, jQuery, jQuery.UI, CSS and HTML5. All work in the course requires a db backend, usually MySQL and SQLite (for mobile solutions), use of the mysqli class, and session management to supply a persistence framework for application data.  jQuery.mobile will provide the touch-optimized UI framework for mobile solution development in the course.

Credit Status
