In this course we will explore a handful of free library and 
book-related APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) and use PHP code 
to extract data from them. You will learn basic PHP syntax and control 
structures (if/else, for), as well as built-in commands for manipulating 
data.

Prior knowledge of HTML, including HTML forms, is recommended.

Students will:
- Understand security concerns with writing PHP applications
- Create a working example application that queries an external data 
source and displays it to the screen
- Learn about various free sources of bibliographic data on the internet
- Be able to read and interpret PHP and HTTP errors
