Our Specific Goals Learn the basic structure and syntax of the PHP language Handle user input via form processing and URL tokens Interface PHP pages with MySQL databases Perform other programming-related activities (upload files to a server, manage file directories, authenticate users, etc.) Gain the knowledge necessary for continued, independent development of programming skills More broadly, two goals exist 1.Provide you with scalable, relevant, experience which will enhance your ability to incorporate future technologies into your tool kit 2.Augment your ability to communicate across the organization This Course

4. Graded Materials Exams (3) 75% Quizzes (2)20% Participation5% Exams are hands-on technical exercises completed in a fixed amount of time. There will be two quizzes given in the semester. These are constructed to prevent the remedial aspects of the class from holding you back. Participation grades are determined through a confluence of two major factors: Did you complete the technical challenges and turn them in on time? Did you participate in the in-class exercises?

6. Value Proposition (Conceptual)

7. The agents party to the project have competing incentives Developers will overcharge you if you do not demonstrate legitimacy You must speak code Clients have unrealistic expectations You must speak English Managers are maximizing revenue You must speak consultant For those of you thinking: “I’m gonna be a CIO, I don’t need to understand code” How will you be promoted to CEO if your projects are under- delivering and over priced? Or: “Developers are nerds! Nerds cant talk to clients. I’m secure.” This developer already has taken your first project management job because she is socially and technically competent, i.e. stronger than you… Value Proposition (Organizational)

I am working in great detail with the Sabrix system … Today I had a meeting where I was going [into] the process of it and how it works. I just wanted you to know […] how much the PHP coding work we did in class is helping me understand. The […] basis of coding knowledge I now have is helping me immensely – Robin Hibbard, Intern at Walmart Value Proposition (Practical)
