Proficiency in PHP programming and basic understanding of OOP (Object-Oriented Programming).
Familiarity with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
Basic knowledge of SQL and database concepts.
Materials Needed:
Recommended textbooks on Laravel and CodeIgniter (e.g., "Laravel: Up and Running" by Matt Stauffer and "CodeIgniter for Rapid PHP Application Development" by David Carr).
Access to a local development environment (e.g., XAMPP, Laravel Homestead).
Software:
PHP (latest version).
Composer (for dependency management).
MySQL or another supported database.
Laravel and CodeIgniter frameworks installed.
Course Description
This course provides an in-depth exploration of developing web applications using two of the most popular PHP frameworks: Laravel and CodeIgniter. Students will learn the principles of MVC architecture, how to utilize the features of each framework for rapid application development, and best practices for building secure, maintainable applications. The course emphasizes hands-on projects, enabling students to create dynamic web applications that interact with databases.
Here's a structured outline for a course on "Building Database Applications with PHP Frameworks: Laravel & CodeIgniter."
