Announcement for WMSUG & i-94 User Group Meeting - January 21st
"Connecting the Dots: Building Web Applications with PHP, HTML, CSS, and Javascript",
by John Valance, President & CTO, Division 1 Systems
New to web development, or trying to get started? Have you taken a PHP course, but are having trouble understanding how to build complete applications for the web? Or maybe you're a manager trying to get an understanding of how web applications work at a high level. This presentation will provide an overview of how browser-based database applications work, with an iSeries audience in mind. It will demonstrate the client-side languages - HTML, CSS and JavaScript - and show how PHP scripts running on a server can dynamically build web pages including content from an iSeries database.
We will discuss the HTTP protocol and how web servers work with HTML and PHP, look at some common formatting techniques in HTML and CSS, demonstrate how HTML forms interact with PHP scripts, and show what JavaScript is and how it makes the browser more functional. With these basic concepts in mind, you should be able to make better decisions about how to sort through the many options available for web-enabling your legacy databases.
Learning Objectives:
- Provide an overview of how browser-based database applications work, with an iSeries audience in mind
- Help RPG programmers and managers, with little or no web development experience, understand the major concepts and technologies involved in building web applications.
- Provide demos and code examples of the major languages involved in typical web applications: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP and SQL
