2. Technical Learnings from the course:

The course is offered by University of Michigan with help of the Coursera platform. The Learning
outcomes of this course is as follows: Week 1: We looked at the basic structure of a web
applicationand how a web browser interacts with a web server. We explored the Request-
Response Cycle that is the basis of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol. We learned how the http
works with the websites. Week 2: 6 In the second week, we covered the basics of the HyperText
Markup Language (HTML)that is the markup for web pages. HTML is responsible for the
development of the front-end structure of the webpages. We learnt the basic HTML for creating
the skeleton of any website.

3. Week 3: We covered the basics of cascading Style Sheets (CSS) that allow us to style the markup for web pages. CSS is
responsible for styling the webpages to make it user-friendly and visually appealing so that it becomes handy to use.
Week 4: This week, we learnt how to work through the installation steps including installing a text editor, installing MAMP
or XAMPP (or equivalent), creating a MySQL Database, and writing a PHP program. We were introduced to the concept of
PHP programming.
Week 5: We understood the core PHP concepts such as variables, expressions and control structures such: if-else, ladder if-
else.
Week 6: This week, we learned more PHP concepts such as arrays in PHP, array() method for creating arrays in PHP.
Week 7: We learned deeply about the functions in PHP and how to implement it in real. Functions are used to supportcode
reusability. We also learned the modular programming approach in PHP.
Week 8: 7 We understood how to work with google forms and how to take data from html to the PHP using the Get and
Post methods available in PHP. After that we can easily connect our page with database and send our data into our MySQL
database.
