Software

We will be using several pieces of software for this course. In particular, you'll need a web server with PHP support as well as a running database. You'll also need a good PHP editor for writing your programs. The links below will show you where to download the software.

XAMPP: [download link] an integrated web server, database, etc. for Windows. Note: please install this to C:\XAMPP since Windows Vista and Windows 7 protect the C:\Program Files\ directory.
Aptana: [download link] a full-featured editor with good support for PHP and HTML.

Assignments

Assignments will be posted here shortly before the starting week for the assignment as given in the syllabus.

Labs
