PHP Camp -- Day 5
Camp is over! In one short week we covered a lot of ground:
- We designed a project that would display video game reviews on a website,
using HTML, PHP, and MySQL.
- We built the initial HTML pages .
- After learning the basics of PHP, we abstracted out the calls that
we'd need the database to support.
- We learned about databases and MySQL, created the databases, practiced
making database queries, and then wrote code to talk to the database.
- We learned about HTML forms, and how to add them to a website, then
we built two forms, one for adding games, and one for adding reviews.
- We did some work on the pages to make them all look similar, and the
boys played around with the games and reviews.
We went over a lot of material in a short time (perhaps a bit too much), but we
ended up with a finished product that everybody can be proud of. I hope
everyone involved had as much fun as I did.
