Paper - Web programming for business : PHP object-oriented programming with oracle

Web Programming for Business: PHP Object-Oriented Programming with Oracle focuses on fundamental PHP coding, giving students practical, enduring skills to solve data and technical problems in business.

Using Oracle as the back-end database, the book is version-neutral, teaching students code that will still work even with changes to PHP and Oracle. The code is clean, clearly explained, and solutions-oriented, allowing students to understand how technologies such as XML, RSS, and AJAX can be leveraged in business applications. The book is fully illustrated with examples, and includes chapters on:

• database functionality;
• security programming;
• transformation programming to move data.

PowerPoint slides, applied exam questions, and the raw code for all examples are available on a companion website. This book offers an innovative approach that allows anyone with basic SQL and HTML skills to learn PHP object-oriented programming.

David Paper is a professor of management information systems at Jon M. Huntsman School of Business, Utah State University, USA. With experience at major companies including Texas Instruments and IBM, David teaches both undergraduate and graduate students of computer science and business.

This book is dedicated to my mother Radine and great friend Malik. My mother was always there when I needed a shoulder to cry on during the writing process. She never ceased to amaze me with her unwavering support even when I would babble on about technology outside of her realm of experience. Malik is always encouraging me by telling me that I can doing anything I set my mind to accomplishing. I am lucky to have such wonderful people in my life!
