Course Objectives

By the end of this course, you should be able to build a relatively sophisticated website using the following technologies:

• PHP - for server side scripting
• MySQL - for interacting with databases
• XHTML - for building web pages
• JavaScript - for client side scripting

Development Platform

Ideally, use a laptop running either Windows, Linux or Mac OS. A laptop has many advantages:

• You may bring it to lecture
• You may bring it to lab
• You may use it to demonstrate your work
• You may configure it with appropriate software, all of which is freely available. See the first lecture for more information.
• You may use an editor of choice. One simple editor to consider is jEdit.
