PHP and XML class
I'm thinking of offering a class for IAP: Easy web development: Build a simple web app with PHP and XML. I'll be doing sessions on Stellar as well, but at IAP it is traditional for people teach classes about their hobbies.
I'd do one two-hour session. The intended audience is people who know how to make a web page and want to take it to the next level by learning a little PHP.
- Linkwalla, an example of a simple PHP/XML application (10 min)
- Quick intro to XML (20 min)
- Quick intro to using PHP (20 min)
- How to turn your XML into a web page (20 min)
- How to edit a 'node' in the XML (20 min)
- How to add a new 'node' in the XML (10 min)
- How to delete a 'node' in the XML (10 min)
- How to publish your new tool (10 min)
Now that's all kind of rushed, of course. So I'd provide a nice juicy handout full of notes about how to do it, plus links to more information about installing PHP, picking webhosts, getting help, recomended books and all that. I'd also add links to download all of the code demoed in class.
What do you think? Would anyone sign up for this class?
