Basics of PHP
April 2009 Meeting - Tuesday, April 28
PHP is a popular server scripting language for building dynamic web pages. From simple form action scripts to robust applications such as a WordPress blog, Drupal and Joomla content management systems or a PHPbb forum, there is a lot to choose from. Understanding the basics is immensely useful when expanding the capabilities of your website.
Katrina Niolet, our guest speaker for April, will guide us through the basics of PHP. She will discuss how to install an Apache server, MySQL database and PHP so you can test your code before you go live. Then she will provide an overview of server side scripting vs markup vs client side scripting as well as an introduction of variables and functions.
Katrina leads classes often and is a software engineer at KDAB. She is quite knowledgeable and her presentation is sure to be worthwhile. I look forward to seeing you all there.
