PHP I: Foundations (PHPI)
PHP I: Foundations (PHPI)
The Zend PHP I: Foundations course is designed to provide non-programmers with a solid foundation in the PHP language. This course guides you through the basics of PHP with an experiential approach and is filled with numerous examples and hands-on exercises, including substantial practice in coding a functional application. All of the exercises are designed to reinforce key learning.
You will also have the opportunity to use the Zend Studio IDE (Integrated Development Environment) to start your coding adventures the easy and correct way! The Zend Training Center will allow you to code exercises live during the course with your instructor able to both see and coach your progress.
Audience:
This course is designed for those who want to learn the basics of the PHP language, and assumes some familiarity with web sites – what they are and the very basics of how they work – but no programming experience. Web designers who want to become PHP Developers would certainly benefit from this course. If you are a programmer in a Procedural or OO language, we recommend you take the Quick Start: PHP for OO/Proc Programmers course. If you are an ILE programmer, we recommend you take the PHP I: Foundations (i5/OS Programmers) course.
