Course Title: Backend Development Using PHP

Pre-request: Web Programming

General Objective
The objective of this course is to enable learners to comprehend, understand, and practice the
fundamental and advanced principles of PHP. This course equips students with practical skills to
develop secure, efficient, and scalable web applications. The learners will apply their knowledge
to build robust solutions, preparing them for careers as professional developers and system
architects.

Duration
This 3-month intensive PHP course is designed for learners to master both fundamental and
advanced PHP concepts through a structured weekend schedule. Starting on 23rd November
2024, the course spans 12 weekends with 8 hours of instruction each day.

Key topics include


 PHP Basics: Syntax, control structures, functions, and arrays.
 Advanced Form Handling: Data validation, file uploads, securing forms, sessions, and
cookies.
 Database Integration: Using MySQL with PHP, prepared statements, and database
optimization.
 Advanced Features: Error handling, APIs, and security best practices.
 Frameworks & Deployment: Laravel, Git, and deploying PHP applications.

Learners will build real-world applications and gain industry-relevant skills, preparing them for
professional development roles.

Project
At the end of the course, students will develop a fully functional STEM Center Management
System as their final project. This system will handle registration, news and announcement
management, chatting, galleries for showcasing projects, and an online learning platform. The
system will replace paper-based registration and will be hosted at an actual STEM center,
making it a real-world application.

Lub
The PHP course will include lab sessions three days a week, giving students the opportunity to
practice based on their shift schedule.
