Earn a professional credential while learning back-end coding with PHP and mySQL
This completes it...
PHP is the stepping stone to your first professional development gigs
PHP is the most popular back end language on the web.
Companies like Facebook and Tumblr use PHP as their primary back end coding language. It's in universal demands, and, as a new developer you're expected to know you're way around the front end and the back end. That's where PHP comes in.
There was a time when a web developer could get away with knowing just HTML and some Javascript-- but now as employers are looking for more value, you have to know more. PHP lets you access an entire world of backend databases, like mySQL which is introduced in this course.
FACT: With PHP knowledge you'll be able to complete more advanced projects and be more employable.
People ask all the time: What's the best past to becoming a professional developer?
People going in to web development need two types of technical knowledge. First, they need to know how to manipulate content in a browser. That's where HTML5 and Javascript come in. But they also need to be able to interact with backend systems-- like eCommerce systems, databases and content management systems.
With PHP, developers:
Create systems by which data can be stored and retrieved in a database
Interact with eCommerce systems facilitating sales, credit card processing and shipping all over the world
Create complex content and customer management systems customized for industry use.
Create plugins and customizations for the most the most popular content management systems in the world-- Wordpress, Drupal and Joomla (all of which are written in PHP!)

Mark Lassoff 's parents frequently claim that Mark was born to be a programmer. Starting, in the mid-eighties at age 11, Mark was hard at work on his Commodore 64 writing games in the BASIC language. After completing a computer science degree, Mark developed software for several well-known internet startups during the initial internet boom of the mid 1990’s. Five...
This is a great course for beginners. I would recommend it to anyone.
This course teaches anyone, even an absolute beginner, how to program with HTML5. One of the features I like best is that Mark is so systematic with each lesson building on the previous. It is organized well enough that I return every now and then to a lesson or two as a reference. The only lesson that was not complete to me was the one about containers. It covered the basics, but more could have been said about how to use the various container types. However, that is a very small thing compared to how well the course takes you from beginner to programming HTML5.
One of the other features of this course that is very useful are the lab exercises. As Mark says, you can't learn to program without doing it, and the lab exercises give you the opportunity to use what you are learning.
I highly recommend this course to anyone wanting to learn HTML5 or who wants to get into web site programming.
The content was good, but when I read the word "specialist," I expected a bit more depth. However, it was a solid grounding in PHP.
I like too much the language and explanation of the instructor,
great !
Yay! Thank you. This course is so far very organized, thorough, and starts with first things first:
1 - Getting and setting up a good editor which is free
2 - Getting and setting up a good software, which is free, for running php on pc or mac
I enjoyed this course very much! Each lesson was focused and to the point, with concepts being clearly explained. I have a better understanding of the content now, and I'm glad I took this course! I recommend it.
He does a very good job of explaining PHP functions with good examples.
good explanation
