Lessons Learned Module 2
In Module 2, we discuss server side scripting with PHP and continue to work with Codeacademy tutorials. The PHP Tutorials are given by Eli the Computer Guy who introduces us to PHP, a popular general purpose scripting language well suited to web development. The textbook, PHP and MySql for Dynamic Web Sites (4th Edition) is also introduced in this module. In this book we learn the fundamentals of PHP such as syntax, variables, concatenation and cover some programming in PHP as well as creating dynamic websites.
The learning artifact I chose for this module is the CodeAcademy PHP Tutorial. The Codeacademy tutorial took us through a series of exercises where we were understand and create PHP programming code. I appreciated this assignment because it helped me to understand basic PHP processes such as if/else, switch statements, practice utilizing arrays in PHP, conducting While and Do-While loops, Object-Oriented Programming and more!
