\par }{\b\f1\fs20\cf1 Overview:}{\f1\fs20\cf1    PHP 4: Introduction explores all of the major elements of PHP programming. With PHP, you can build dynamic, data-driven Web sites that 
use a variety of databases. Easy-to-understand code samples are used to demonstrate the many elements and techniques used in PHP programming.
\par 
\par }{\b\f1\fs20\cf1 Prerequisites:}{\f1\fs20\cf1    To ensure your success, we recommend you first take the following Element K courses or have equivalent knowledge:

\par 
\par }{\b\f1\fs20\cf1 Delivery Method:}{\f1\fs20\cf1    Instructor-led, group-paced, classroom-delivery learning model with structured hands-on and minds-on activities.
\par 
\par }{\b\f1\fs20\cf1 Benefits:}{\f1\fs20\cf1   After completing this course you will be able to immediately use PHP to create impressive Web sites.
\par 
\par }{\b\f1\fs20\cf1 Target student:}{\f1\fs20\cf1   PHP 4: Introduction is designed for the student who is well versed in HTML, and who has had at least some experience with scripting languages and SQL. This is a serious programming course\emdash 
it is not intended for students who have created Web sites only with a WYSIWYG editor (for example, MS FrontPage) and have never gotten into HTML coding by hand, let alone scripting or working with SQL databases.
