Writing code is one thing; however this one-day course covers everything BUT the code, showing you all the other allied and essential skills you’ll need to work with PHP and the LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) stack as a whole. The aim is to enable you to move your code around and measure it - both its quality as a standalone codebase, and its performance under load. We’ll look at the tools for editing, analysing and deploying PHP applications, and have hands-on time to try out all of these.

This course is one of a family of THREE one day courses designed by Lorna Mitchell. These are aimed at PHP developers who want to take their skills to the next level, boost productivity and develop robust systems.  You may also be interested in these:   Databases and PHP and Object-Oriented Design in PHP

An experienced web developer working particularly with PHP, the LAMP stack and related technologies, Lorna’s also a prolific conference speaker, and writer. She recently co-authored PHP Master: Write Cutting-Edge Code which was published in September 2011. All delegates receive a copy of this book.
