Audience
This course is designed for those who want to learn the basics of the PHP language, and assumes some familiarity with web sites – what they are and the very basics of how they work – but no programming experience. Web designers who want to become PHP Developers would certainly benefit from this course. This course may also be appropriate for those programmers who have only limited exposure to other languages, or who program in a language whose syntax is very different from PHP (e.g., RPG, COBOL). If you are a programmer in a Procedural or OO language, we recommend you take the Quick Start: PHP for Experienced Programmers course.
