You'll cover the basics of PHP and MySQL, walking through some of the foundational knowledge required with example code to guide you along the way.
Developing from this foundation you'll dive straight into creating an image gallery powered on the backend by PHP/MySQL and dynamic image generation courtesy of the GD library with full CRUD (Create, Read, Update and Delete) capability delivered in the form of an Ionic application..
You'll work with the latest versions of Ionic/Angular, TypeScript, PHP, MySQL and the GD library to build, expand and hone your skills with this particular tech stack.
