For Python Development:
For PHP Development:
1. Language Fundamentals
2. Web Development
3. Development Practices
1. Classic ASP Context - Every concept is explained in terms you already understand
2. Side-by-Side Comparisons - See VBScript and modern code together
3. Working Examples - All code is tested and ready to run
4. Progressive Difficulty - Start simple, build to complex applications
5. Practical Focus - Build real web applications, not just syntax exercises
This training recognizes that you already understand web development concepts from Classic ASP. Instead of starting from scratch, we:
Every major concept includes:
1. VBScript/Classic ASP example - How you currently do it
2. Python equivalent - Modern Python approach
3. PHP equivalent - Modern PHP approach
4. Explanation - Why the modern approach is better
5. Practice exercise - Hands-on implementation
By completing this training, you will be able to:
✅ Read and understand Python and PHP web application code
✅ Write basic web applications in both languages
✅ Handle forms and user input with modern validation
✅ Manage sessions and authentication securely
✅ Work with databases using modern approaches
✅ Debug and troubleshoot web applications
✅ Follow security best practices for web development
✅ Structure code for maintainability and scalability
1. Build Your Own Projects - Apply what you've learned to real problems
2. Explore Frameworks - Learn Django (Python) or Laravel (PHP)
3. Join Communities - Participate in Python and PHP developer communities
4. Continue Learning - Frontend development, databases, DevOps
This training package provides everything you need to transition from VBScript/Classic ASP to modern Python and PHP web development. The materials are designed specifically for your background and learning style.
Your existing web development knowledge is valuable - this training helps you apply it to modern technologies while learning new best practices and approaches.
Start with the learning roadmap and take it one step at a time. You've got this!
