Deliverable Your deliverable should provide evidence that you understand the materials in these chapters. In your portfolio, you should have a textbook reading assignment page that briefly explains what you have read. In addition that page should include a link to working code from Chapter 9. That is, working versions of register.php, password.php, and view_users.php. |

Since you most likely have already had a database class, Chapter 4 will provide a review. Chapter 5 will provide you with a ‘hands on’ introduction to the open source MySQL/Maria DB. Chapter 6 and 7 are being skipped because our focus here is on using, rather than designing, databases. That is, our class focuses on integrating MySQL, PHP, HTML, and CSS into web applications rather than on designing data bases.
Chapter 9 combines aspects of everything that you have learned thus far. It can be argued that Chapter 9 is the most important chapter in our Internet Application Development Class. Successful completion of the Chapter’s sample code will provide evidence of your learning.
