Synopsis for PHP 7.4 Programming training course

Version numbers in IT sometimes work the same way that American cars are known by their year of manufacture and in some cases the changes are so subliminal that it is only 'under the hood' that differences can be seen. That’s particularly true when the version number of software has only changed the mantissa part of the number, this fractional part signifies that the changes are only minor, perhaps to fix bugs or improve performance. It is only when the integer part or characteristic part is changed that the version is more significant than its predecessors.

This is the PHP 7.4 course, its three day duration and differs from the sister courses in that it is given without looking at how PHP interfaces with the popular Databases, thereby saving two days for Delegates who don’t need to use Databases. Databases and web pages are quite a good combination as they allow dynamic web pages to be generated live from the base data, this may be of interest to a lot of Delegates, therefore, you might like to take a look at the PHP with MySQL course before making your mind up which is best for you and your Delegates. You can always ask one of our training advisers, they will give you a breakdown of any course you are interested in, as well as a quotation without obligation.

This course like all our other courses can be presented both in-house at your place of work or at our offices in Swansea, a selection of courses are also scheduled to take place throughout the year at various locations in the UK and Ireland, take a look at the menu for the list of locations and the dates we are in the area.

When we perform on-site training we bring all the equipment needed, all we need is sufficient tables and chairs, ask our course consultants about our requirements, in the music world they are called a 'rider', our Trainers need nothing more than a glass of water during the day … they bring everything else; machines, our comprehensive manuals for each Delegates and pens for notes. We never use your server or workstations. Just need a room suitable for everyone to work in comfortably.

All of our courses can be tailored to your needs, we like to think we have covered all aspects of a particular topic but we can customise the content. This page, as well as all the others contains the index contents for the course, have a read and let us know if you don’t need some aspects, our training booking staff will be happy to help and give a breakdown of costs of any or all courses you are interested in, without any obligation. All of our courses can be quoted in Sterling or Euro and will be the full price for the courses, no hidden costs.

Take your time looking through our courses then contact us with your requirements, it will be a pleasure to help you.
