This Dynamic Web Design with PHP and MySQL training course will give you a working understanding of these important technologies and show you how to use them to create your own impressive websites. When used in combination, there simply isn't a better way to construct sites that involve complexity, large volumes of data, and the flexibility to make adjustments and changes over time. This course goes step by step through the basics of each technology, and then gradually shows you how to build the necessary components and underlying framework of your site. It goes through installation of PHP and MySQL technologies on your local machine as well as hosted servers, explains basic tags, commands and constructs, and helps you build and work within a solid back-end database. One you have the basics of PHP and MySQL covered, you'll also learn how to use CSS, JavaScript and AJAX to create the visual style and added functionality your pages deserve.
