Course overview

A substantial practical programme from relational foundations to production-oriented PHP/MySQL systems. Build a fictional service business platform, work through concurrent transactions and payment-state design, and practise secure identity, private files, testing, deployment and recovery. Includes two assessed projects and an integrated capstone. This is professional skills training, not an accredited degree or academic-credit award. Course notes are read inside the learning platform.
