Overview

Hi, In this course we are going to add a newsletter sign up form that will save our new subscribers to a database.

To do this we are going to be using a backend programming language called PHP and a MySQL database.Don’t worry if that doesn’t make any sense to you, we will be going over all of the basics and walking you through it step by step.

This course does however assume you have a basic understanding of html and css, and that you know how to push any updates up to a server and make them live.

If you don’t have that experience then I can recommend this course by Daniel Scott, it starts at the very beginning and will easy get you up to speed so you can start taking the next steps like working with PHP and databases.

So if you’re ready to get started with our PHP database project … then sign up to the course and lets get started :)

Founder of Bring Your Own Laptop & Chief Instructor

I discovered the world of design as an art student when I stumbled upon a lab full of green & blue iMac G3’s. My initial curiosity around using the computer to create ‘art’ developed into a full-blown passion, eventually leading me to become a digital designer and founder of Bring Your Own Laptop.

Sharing and teaching are a huge part of who I am. As a certified Adobe instructor, I've had the honor of winning multiple Adobe teaching awards at their annual MAX conference. I see Bring Your Own Laptop as the supportive community I wished for when I was first starting out and intimidated by design. Through teaching, I hope to bring others along for the ride and empower my students to bring their stories, labors of love, and art into the world.
True to my Kiwi roots, I've lived in many places, and currently, I reside in Ireland with my wife and kids.
