PHP is the language that powers Facebook, Wikipedia, WordPress, and more--in fact, it is the most common server-side language on the web!

You can use PHP to build interactive, dynamic websites.

We will go over the basics of programming with PHP--variables, functions, loops, and more!

We will also show you how to connect your code to a MySQL database.

By the end of the class you will have a fully functional PHP website.

If you've got a working knowledge of HTML and CSS and have been looking to jump into the world of PHP & MySQL, this class is for you!
