Fixed GeSHI for CodeIgniter Link « General, Web Development

Teaching PHP: Course Curriculum « IT Management
The problem, succinctly stated, is: How do you best organize 14 weeks of study to teach PHP to a group of motivated College students?

“Portable” means that your application is able to run on any PHP webserver with minimal fuss.
Ensuring portability is an absolute must for programs that are packaged and distributed for public consumption, like WordPress or MediaWiki.

PHP v5.X+, 3. MySQL 4+.
