April 22, 2008 -- Big Nerd Ranch, Inc. (www.bignerdranch.com), premier provider of training classes for web developers, system administrators and programmers, announced today the return of its innovative PHP 5/PostgreSQL Bootcamp.
After the introduction of the pilot run of this blended training class in February, the response to this class was overwhelming. By leveraging the versatile and nearly ubiquitous web development language, PHP 5, with the robust scalability of PostgreSQL, Big Nerd Ranch has developed a training class that provides web developers an in-depth and practical solution to building full-featured, database-driven web applications.
This novel web development class was re-designed by master Big Nerd Ranch instructor, Mark Fenoglio, who brought together two formerly stand-alone bootcamps to create a unified class with context built into the curriculum. Understanding that web applications today are more demanding in their complexity and spectrum of needs, Mark has re-conceived PHP5 and PostgreSQL training to provide a practical and fully-integrated approach to web development.
"Web professionals live in a fast-paced world that requires they maximize their time and have the ability to develop more sophisticated database-driven web applications," commented Mark Fenoglio, PHP 5/PostgreSQL class instructor. "It is not enough to simply teach them a class like PHP 5 without offering them instruction on how databases integrate with their web applications. In addition, providing PostgreSQL database administration within the context of a working website creates a more realistic and tangible environment in which to learn. The information resonates better with students and they are more able to master the instruction and emerge as top-tier web developers."
Students attending the class should be prepared to work hard, as the material presented is intensive, and have prior experience in a scripting language and HTML. Upon completion of the class, students will be able to create a complete and secure CRM website and application, integrate PHP 5 and PostgreSQL with CSS, XML, pdf, and AJAX, and reduce development time by integrating third-party libraries like PEAR.
Syllabus topics include:
An in-depth study of PHP 5 fundamentals, functions, objects and arrays
The use of PDO as a lightweight data access layer to a PostgreSQL database
The integration of PHP and PostgreSQL to produce a dynamic public-facing webpage
Utilization of Advanced SQL and PEAR::HTML_Quickform and PDO to manage form and database content
An introduction to Javascript, XML, AJAX and FPDF to produce dynamic pdfs on the web
The production of web graphics using the PHP5 GD library
The Big Nerd Ranch incorporates intensive training classes for Unix and Mac OS X programmers and system administrators in a retreat setting outside Atlanta, GA. Class price of $3500 includes lodging, all meals, original instruction materials, 24-hour lab access, and ground transportation to and from the Atlanta airport. Students are encouraged to bring independent projects to class, allowing for input from classmates and individual instructor attention.
