PHP for NonProgrammers

PHP for NonProgrammers

tags

This is a friendly programming introduction for people new to coding. We'll take a "Physics for Poets" approach to basic PHP concepts like variables, conditionals, and functions. You'll write a little bit of code, speak a little geek, laugh a little, and start down the addictive path of programming logic.

We'll cover:

• Variables ($variable = where I store my stuff)
• Boolean logic (you can either eat cake OR eat cookies but you must run AND lift weights)
• Conditional statements (if this is true, do that, else, do something else)
• Functions (aka little blocks of "do stuff")
• How to be a geek in public
• Other tasty tidbits if time permits
