PHP/SQL 1: Introduction to Database Programming
SQL(Structured Query Language) is the language for databases such as Oracle, MySQL, MS Access, etc. Knowing SQL is paramount to using these databases. In addition, the PHP programming language is widely used to interface with MySQL, making it possible to program sophisticated applications both for the Web and otherwise.
In this course, students will learn basic SQL database creation and manipulation, as well as how to search databases and how to incorporate them into PHP-based programs and applications.
Upon completion of the course, students will earn 4 CEUs (Continuing Education Units) and a CEU letter from the University of Illinois Office of Continuing Education. This course counts toward both the Open Source Programming Certificate Series and the Web Programming Certificate Series.
From beginning to end, participants will learn by doing their own SQL-based projects using PHP, and then handing them in for instructor feedback. These projects, as well as the final project, will add to the student's portfolio and will contribute to certificate completion. Besides a browser and internet connection, all software is provided online by the O'Reilly School of Technology.
PHP/SQL 1: Introduction to Database Programming covers topics including: creating databases and tables, inserting information, retrieving information, searching, summarizing, application development using PHP, etc.
