So, there are all these letters and numbers and punctuation when you're looking at your Wordpress theme (or Drupal Theme). You can get a few things done, but it all looks like magic to you.

Let's pull back the curtain and show you how to program some PHP. Did you know it now has a local server so you can develop without getting your files somewhere? That you can connect to a database?

I'll cover the beginning fundamentals for programming PHP including:

• Getting Started
• The PHP server
• Variables
• Logic
• Functions
• includes
• Connected to a Database

And I'll attempt to make this hook into the popular Drupal and Wordpress platforms, but you don't need experience with those platforms to benefit from this session.
