How in the world do I find out which classes to take for PHP sort of degree? I keep finding classes on visual basic ASP ruby on rails but PHP seems to not exist in college course descriptions.
PHP Degree? I would think that a college would maybe target web application development...but probably on a wide variety of languages. Unless someone like ITT Tech offers it I don't think you will find many college courses wrapped around PHP.
Most of the private sector is all about overpriced platforms. None of the local local state schools (2-yr or 4-yr) around here offer PHP courses because they get a lot of feedback from the businesses in the area that recruit grads; none of them use it because it is still not considered "mainstream." Give it a few more years, though, it will catch on. Your best bet is to take C/C++ and Java. Everybody offers those courses. If you know those, then you should be able to pick up PHP with very little effort, as the syntax is very similar.
I'm not into to either and Java meh, I'll learn it because there's a lot of jobs involving it that I'd like. PHP is i the course curriculum just it's not highlighted. I have a buddy who learned it but I've lost contact with them. They went to the same school. I guess I just have to give a ring to my CSIT department.
in our university teachers have main focus to microsoft products .. they teach us ASP.NET in our higher semester but no PHP but thanks to the students who come up with extra ordinary skills and teach student PHP in every semester when they get time ..
There are no PHP degree, however there is PHP Certification from Zend (which is stronger than a degree, if any). Peace,
To get a degree you need to get an associates of science with emphasis on web development. Or higher, of course. YOu can even go for a bachelors in computer science. As far as php only, certification is the best you can do there.
No such thing. It's COmputer Science or ISM. Either way you have to be a master in ALL the languages (not just php... hard ones too lol)
No such thing? Um that would be incorrect sir. You can receive an Associates of Science w/ Emphasis in ANYTHING. It means you took extra classes in a certain field of study. Please do research before posting such nonsense. Most technical schools and community colleges (2 year colleges) offer this. But, telling from that creepy mustache and geeky 1970's sunglasses, you haven't been to school since Cobol was the bomb. The key, is to make sure the school is nationally accredited.
A degree covers far in depth in an area other than just programming language such as PHP, the most that can be expected is a certificate or a diploma. Extremely unlikely a degree will be offered, unless it teaches in depth into the fundamentals of programming and that of PHP. But it is too specialized, should it be taught this way. I doubt any university is likely to offer it soon.
In addition to those wise words, a smart businessman needs more than just PHP. Every subject will help you in your work. Customer service, book keeping, business relations, you name it. The more you know, the more you are worth.
Zend offers one? Sweet! Thanks! I probably won't go for the degree. Just a certificate my actually major is business. I need these classes to make my life cheaper lol. Just usually if I need to learn something I go to my school look up the degree it's related to and then I take the classes until I get a certificate. That's why I was asking about PHP degree. Because I'm not sure where it fell under. I also didn't see any courses covering it.
Really your going to learn more by self teaching... Anything the colleges teach you about it will be behind anyway... I owned a computer shop for 5 years...always have jobs coming to me for telecom related PHP... I have no degree...I have a diploma from high school heh... I had a poor guy come to me with a computer science degree at the computer shop...but I don't know what they normally teach in there but he didn't seem to really know a whole hell of a lot other than theory heh. I think he went to one of those schools that don't have you apply what you learn or something...no hands on...
Not really, there are good and bad schools as well as good and bad students. Can't judge the entire education system just basing on a few rotten apples. For most jobs, experience is as important as a piece of paper, the piece of paper open doors, but still it is the experience and the willingness to learn further that counts. A degree is just stepping stone to the world....
