01 HTML to Wordpress

Post date: Jul 10, 2014 2:48:55 AM

In Tuesday's class on 7/8, I introduced some starter material:

• 1. What a LAMP server is (Linux / Apache / MySQL / PHP) and that Wordpress is a LAMP app.

  2. How CSS separates out Design from Content (see the amazing http://csszengarden.com).

  3. How PHP/MySQL separates user-developed content (into a database) from page templates and functionality (PHP files).

This class builds on those topics, and sets students up to understand each others' roles in these projects. It began with a slideshow, followed by some exploration of code viewing with Firefox.
