Class Description

Class Overview

In this advanced PHP training course, students will learn advanced features of the PHP web programming language, its extensions and open source libraries for XML processing. As the technical web programming paradigm changes, more layers of abstractions are introduced by the PHP open source community. This course takes a deep dive into those areas such as XML/XSLT, XML-RPC, Smarty Templates, Web Services, Ajax and many more. This PHP course also explores the built-in advanced Object Oriented language constructs and looks at some of the best practices with all of the advanced technologies combined.
