In this course, students learn how to install a PHP-driven content
management system (CMS), manage local and remote servers, configure the
site, add content, and monitor site usage. Students will work with one of
several popular open source CMSs, their choice of Joomla, Drupal, or
WordPress. They will learn how to alter existing themes and to create a
custom theme for their chosen content management system. Prior to the start
of the course, students will need a personal account with a web hosting
service that accommodates the CMS with which they wish to work.
