The course Advanced PHP Programming covers advanced features of PHP.
In the first place it is addressed how to deal with Object Orientation in PHP. Attention is paid to the known object oriented concepts like classes and objects, encapsulation and inheritance and how PHP deals with them.
Also the concept of Exception Handling is covered. New features of PHP 7 are discussed as well.
Another issue is how to handle XML and JSON in PHP. Various XML libraries in PHP are discussed, such as libraries for SAX, DOM, SimpleXML and XPath. Also attention is paid to the handling of JSON data with the JSON library functions.
The use of regular expressions in PHP is also part of the subject matter.
Attention is paid to various libraries for database access such as PDO, PHP Data Objects. Database abstraction, transactions and SQL joins are also discussed.
Further attention is payed to several aspects of security such as security threats, authentication and SSL.
In the following module it is discussed how interactive PHP Ajax Web Applications can be developed. The XAJAX Framework is addressed in this respect.
In the module Web Services both SOAP and REST Services are discussed.
Finally an overview of Design Patterns is given and a number of Design Patterns in PHP applications are treated. In conjunction with the course PHP Programming this course covers the requirements for the Zend PHP Certification exam.
The course Advanced PHP Programming is intended for PHP web developers with basic knowledge of PHP who want to make advanced use of PHP to write dynamic Web applications.
To participate in this course knowledge and experience with PHP is required as is discussed in the course PHP Programming.
The concepts are treated on the basis of presentation slides. Demos are used to clarify the theory. The theory is interspersed with exercises. The course uses PHP 7 which is installed in a WAMP package with the Apache Web server and MySQL.
Participants receive an official certificate Advanced PHP Programming after successful completion of the course.

All our courses are classroom courses in which the students are guided through the material on the basis of an experienced trainer with in-depth material knowledge. Theory is always interspersed with exercises.
We also do custom classes and then adjust the course content to your wishes. On request we will also discuss your practical cases.
The course times are from 9.30 to 16.30. But we are flexible in this. Sometimes people have to bring children to the daycare and other times are more convenient for them. In good consultation we can then agree on different course times.
We take care of the computers on which the course can be held. The software required for the course has already been installed on these computers. You do not have to bring a laptop to participate in the course. If you prefer to work on your own laptop, you can take it with you if you wish. The required software is then installed at the start of the course.
Our courses are generally given with Open Source software such as Eclipse, IntelliJ, Tomcat, Pycharm, Anaconda and Netbeans. You will receive the digital course material to take home after the course.
The course includes lunch that we use in a restaurant within walking distance of the course room.
The courses are planned at various places in the country. A course takes place at a location if at least 3 people register for that location. If there are registrations for different locations, the course will take place at our main location, Houten which is just below Utrecht. A course at our main location also takes place with 2 registrations and regularly with 1 registration. And we also do courses at the customer’s location if they appreciate that.
At the end of each course, participants are requested to evaluate the course in terms of course content, course material, trainer and location. The evaluation form can be found at https://www.klantenvertellen.nl/reviews/1039545/spiraltrain?lang=en. The evaluations of previous participants and previous courses can also be found there.
