Good work last night.  To recap we covered the basics of HTML and CSS, an introduction to PHP, some basic PHP skills, and how to move data from one page to another via a form request.

As a reminder the HTML quiz will be held next week and will cover all of the concepts covered in the HTML Essentials Training.  To prepare for the quiz be sure to review the HTML and CSS exercises as the quiz is very similar to these two exercises.  You will be required to download some starter code I provide to you, alter the code in netbeans based on a number of questions in the quiz and then upload your code to the class server (www.mis3501.xyz).

For next week 1) Prepare for the HTML Quiz 2) Complete Challenge 2.1 3) Review the materials for week 3 including the slides and exercise

Have a great week!

Hi Class,

Good work last night!  It was great meeting everyone. To recap: We covered an overview of the course and went through course expectations and policies.  We covered an intro to web application development, XAMPP, SSH, Netbeans and started a new project using PHP/HTML, covering exercises 1.1 and 1.3.  Additionally, I have posted a webex covering the HTML Exercise as we ran out of time before completing that last night.

For next week:

1. Ensure you have obtained all of the course materials, including the textbook and have completed all of the technology setup including, SSH, XAMPP and Netbeans and have ensured everything is working as expected.
2. Complete the Required reading for week 2, complete and post Challenge 1, review all of the exercises/materials from week 1, and prepare for next week by going through the posted materials for week 2
3. Be sure to check the class website for announcements and all of the materials required for this class.

Please let me know if you have any questions at all!  See you all next week.
