LAMP-Stack-Workshop

A repository created for the LAMP Stack Workshop I am hosting for IEEE at UC Irvine

Description of Workshop:

Due to overwhelming interest, we have decided to host a part 2 to our original LAMP stack workshop. This workshop will be hosted by our workshop coordinator, Tej Vuligonda. For those of you interested in learning more about web development and building full-stack applications, please come check it out!

NOTES/PREREQUISITES from Tej

Prerequisites:

• Basic knowledge of HTML and CSS
  • A good place to learn these skills is Codecademy: https://www.codecademy.com/
    • This should not take too long to learn so please go through the HTML and CSS tutorials before the workshop as there will not be a lot of time to go through the fundamentals during the time we have.
• Basic knowledge of programming concepts
