In this course, students will learn to create interaction multimedia environments through which multiple users can interact with each other on the web. Students will learn to use Macromedia Flash to create projects that send and receive data to and from a server. They will then learn serverside scripting (PHP) and database access (mySQL) so that data can be shared to facilitate communication, shared states, and administration. These techniques will allow students to make chats, multiuser applications, and remotely updated websites. Ways that data is passed back and forth will be examined, such as URL encoded variables, XML, and XML sockets. COURSE MATERIALS: Approximately $100.00
