Put students on the path to PHP proficiency with 19 progressive tasks for absolute beginners. From forms and functions to working with simple databases, lay the groundwork for their programming project. Equally valuable for teacher-led lessons or independent learning – including homework.
- Familiar contexts from grade calculators to user registration

I like the step by step progression in the activities
Through practical tasks, your students will learn:
- To apply a wide range of programming techniques and functions in PHP
