Private courses can be held on site at your office (or at other venues) - all you do is provide the room and trainees; we provide the tutor, training systems, manuals, projectors, etc. Up to 15 trainees per course. Further details of Private Courses are available elsewhere on this site.

We usually tailor private courses to meet your exact requirements, but it's likely that such courses would be based on the following standard formulae:

Technology Background for PHP overviews (in one day) the technologies such as the Web, programming and SQL that you'll need to make good use of PHP as taught on the following PHP Programming course.

PHP Programming is a four day course that covers server-side Web programming using the PHP language. As well as the fundamentals of the language, Web subjects such as cookies and session control are covered, and interfacing to SQL databases, XML and dynamic graphics.

Object Oriented Programming in PHP is a one day course for programmers with prior PHP experience who want to learn the best techniques to share code between pages and perhaps sites in a larger project. Course covers Object Orientation principles and how objects are implemented and best used in PHP.

Regular Expressions is a day dedicated to pattern recognition and matching - if you are going to be heavily dependent on recognising sequences of characters - from an email address to a credit card number to a DNA sequence, then you should consider attending this day.

MySQL is a two day course covering the structure of database engines and how to write database applications using SQL. As well as SQL itself, this course covers the installation and administration of MySQL, database and table design, security, and using MySQL from Perl and/or PHP and/or Java as appropriate for the trainee group.

A full list of modules on PHP is available on this site. Much of this material is specialised, and some of it is not included in any of the courses listed above.

We also have a number of modules on general subjects, modules on MySQL and modules on Internet / web that are often included on custom courses.

Deploying LAMP - Linux, Apache, MySQL, Perl/PHP is a four day course covering the technologies involved in installing, configuring and supporting a web application written in Perl or PHP.
