Recently I wrote about PHP lessons.
You have until June 1st to register and take part as one of the 10 chosen ones.
All levels of PHP are accepted, however you’ll need basic knowledge of HTML (CSS and JS are a plus).
Lessons will contain many aspects of real-life php programming, ranging from simple charset problems to things like XML generation using DOM.
Each lesson will be available as an exercice, and you’ll be able to unlock parts of the required documentation to get some help. Scoring will be based on amount of documentation you had to unlock, code quality, security aspect, etc…
Everyone will be able to access exercices, however documentation and notation will be reserved to the 10 selected students.
The first exercice will be a pretty simple application. This simple application will have more and more things added as time passes by, and will end as a pretty complete website. This reflects some aspects of PHP programming.
The exercices are made to force you to search for what you’ll need, just giving you basic tips. Searching for documentation helps learning way more than receiving documentation.
Out of the 10 students, the 3 best overall students will win some prizes. Those prizes will change as I get sponsors. It may range from a domain name with webhosting to having the final project bought by a company for cash. Each winner will be free to choose from what’s available at this point. Webhosting isn’t a problem, however I don’t know yet for the code buying thing.
If you wish to participate, you can contact me directly on this contact form.
