Quick Start: PHP for OO/Procedural Programmers
The Zend Quick Start: PHP for OO/Procedural Programmers course is designed to quickly build an experienced programmer’s understanding of the PHP language. This course covers many of the same topics as both the PHP I: Foundations and PHP II: Higher Structures classes but at an accelerated rate with special emphasis on the differences between PHP and other commonly used languages. As with the other classes, it utilizes a hands-on approach with numerous examples and practical exercises, primarily related to the course project, to enhance learning. You will also have the opportunity to use the Zend Studio IDE (Integrated Development Environment) to continue honing your coding skills utilizing best practices and effective tools.
Audience
This course is designed for experienced developers (2+ years) of other languages - Procedural & OO, such as C, Java, C++, C#, JavaScript, Python, Perl, Ruby - who want to transfer their skills to PHP and need to quickly learn the PHP-specific version of common features, such as syntax and language constructs. (For ILE programmers without experience in these other programming families, we recommend taking the PHP I: Foundations (IBMi) and PHP II: Higher Structures courses.)
