PHP/SQL 1: Introduction to Database Programming

 

Learn PHP and SQL Programming, for the Beginning or Intermediate Student

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 this course, you 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, you 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 PHP/SQL Programming Certificate series.

From beginning to end, you 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 your 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.
