Synopsis

In just a short time, you can learn how to use PHP, MySQL, and JavaScript together to create dynamic, interactive websites and applications using three leading web development technologies.

 

No previous programming experience is required. Using a straightforward, step-by-step approach, each lesson in this book builds on the previous ones, enabling you to learn the essentials of full-stack web application development – from HTML, CSS, and JavaScript on the front end, to PHP scripting and MySQL databases on the server.

 

Regardless of whether you run Linux, Windows, or MacOS, the book includes complete instructions to install all the software you need to set up a stable environment for learning, testing, and production.

 

Step-by-step instructions carefully walk you through the most common web application development tasks.

 

Practical, hands-on examples show you how to apply what you learn.

 

Quizzes and exercises help you test your knowledge and stretch your skills.
