Overview

CodeIgniter is a powerful PHP framework with a rich set of libraries and a simple interface that allows applications to be built fast without compromising on quality or efficiency. When combined with MySQL, one of the most widely used relational databases, which is popular because it is easy to integrate with a front end and has a wide repository of support, one gets to build flexible web sites and web applications rapidly.

This course will help to leverage the CodeIgniter compatibility features and simplistic development tools through a blended workshop that comprises of theory and plenty of hands on exercises for practical learning. The participants will learn about the CodeIgniter Framework form, how to connect with the database and how to make websites more interactive, effective, less complex and easily manageable. This course also demonstrates how to build Web services and consume the Web services in CodeIgniter using PHP.

Secure web programming is the best defence against hackers. This course will demonstrate live real-time hacking methods, analyse the code deficiency that enabled the attack and most importantly, teach how to prevent such vulnerabilities by adopting secure coding best practices in order to bullet-proof the application.

Objective

  • Build web applications using CodeIgniter and MySQL and advance your knowledge of OOPs programming
  • Build projects that focus on performance, business and application logic and visual presentation
  • Build applications from scratch using minimum code and with the support of a large number of libraries and resources
  • Build a secure website based on major security principles in PHP programming vulnerabilities, and known security issues in web applications
  • Learn how to create and deploy contract-first web services.
  • Understand Web Services Description Language (WSDL) file.

Target Participants

Website developers who want to pursue a career in web development will benefit greatly from this course. The hands on labs will enable the student to get a first-hand experience of the hackers’ world and what could be done to stop him.
