1. PHP 5.3
Advanced web application programming
Learn the nuts and bolts of advanced web application programming! Join Edward
Tanguay as he dives into PHP programming. In his workshop, you will learn that it only
takes a few minutes to get an Apache web server, a MySQL database, PHP 5.3, and the
Eclipse editor up and running using the free XAMPP installation tool. Edward will then
cover the PHP syntax, such as operators, loops and variables, before moving on to make
you a PHP expert, tackling object orientation, databases, XML parsing, web services,
security and much more. The training also includes important new features of PHP 5.3,
such as namespaces, lambdas, and late static binding. Once you complete this video
training, you will have the skills you need to build next-generation dynamic websites.

PHP has become one of the most useful and ubiquitous web scripting languages. It runs on every major operating
system. It comes with most web hosting packages, even the basic ones. And its developer community is larger than that
for most other computer languages.
In this video workshop, Edward Tanguay lets you feel the PHP excitement. Leveraging over 20 years of experience as a
computer programmer, Edward teaches you skills that he knows are useful not only in the IT industry but also for you
as an individual programmer who intends to realize a specific idea for a website.
First off, Edward will show you how to use a free install tool called XAMPP to get everything up and running within
minutes, including Apache, MySQL, PHP 5.3, PHPMyAdmin and the Eclipse editor. Once you are all set, you will learn
the basics of the PHP language itself, including operators, conditionals, loops, functions, arrays, etc., plus the
essentials of object-oriented programming.
But that’s only for starters! Next you will learn how to create a form, validate it and protect it against attacks. Then
Edward goes on to show you how to read and write cookies and session variables to create a more engaging web
experience. You will also learn about integrating and managing databases. Special lessons cover two other key aspects
of serious programming, XML and security. Edward will wrap things up by showing you important new features of PHP
5.3, including namespaces, lambdas, closures and late static binding.
So whether you are a beginner or a seasoned programmer, this video workshop is just for you!
