PHP
Scripting Language Class
Back again by popular demand for Spring 2010! Register Early!
PHP is a
commonly used scripting language. PHP scripting language is used to
create dynamic web sites by taking PHP code as its input and creating
web pages as output. Cool! Traditionally it is primarily used as server-side scripting.
However, PHP can be embedded into HTML. Find out what it’s
all about! Build your web development skills and your resume.
Take the class - no
pre-requisite! Although the MIS-200-200 PHP class does not have a
pre-requisite, MIS-105 (Programming Principles) or some programming
experience is strongly suggested as a co-requisite. Correction: The
printed version of the Spring Mail has an error stating that MIS-200-200 will
cover game programming. Game programming will NOT be covered in this class.
MIS-200-200 will be PHP scripting. We apologize for any confusion or
inconvenience this printing error may cause.

Jennifer
Synal is the 2009 recipient of the award.
“In the summer of 2003, realizing I would
need to re-enter the workforce to help pay for my children’s college
education, I enrolled at MVCC. Because of the computer skills I
acquired, I obtained my first job in the office of a school bus company.
Two years later with additional classes and a few Microsoft Office
certifications under my belt, I was able to ace the entrance tests at
Standard Bank and was hired as the administrative assistant to a senior
vice president and two assistant vice presidents. A year ago I accepted
the position of executive assistant to the senior pastor and executive
pastor at Parkview Christian Church. This job not only uses my education
and skills; it fuels my passion to serve others and change the world.”
Congratulations, Jennifer!
