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.

This one-day course dispenses a big dose of data-related theory, helping you to make the step up from the role of web developer to that of a web-based software developer.

Firstly, we’ll take a close look at data theory, designing database schemas to support the serious applications we will build on top of them. We’ll study, and also put in to practice, techniques for designing data structures, and then learn how to optimise queries.

Secondly,  we’ll approach databases from a PHP angle - covering the PDO library,  an excellent object-oriented way of interacting with the database. We’ll analyse the  features this extension provides and then use it to manipulate database structures via the web.

This is a test preparation and PHP review course.   The content covers key information about the exam and strategies for answering the exam questions, in addition to providing an in-depth review of the twelve certification topic areas. Participants are challenged to test their knowledge with focused quizzes and a practice exam. The course moves at a fast pace, and assumes at least an intermediate skill level in programming within PHP.

The PHP I: Foundations course is designed to provide relatively inexperienced programmers with a solid foundation in the PHP language. This course guides you through the basics of PHP with an experiential approach, filled with numerous examples and hands-on exercises, including substantial practice in coding a functional application.
