• Server-side scripting language
• Used to create dynamic web pages (like blogs!)

When I first opened the PHP documents to the template Wordpress files, I was incredibly confused:

Overall, I ended up editing a pre-made free Wordpress theme (found here), by modifying the CSS and barely dabbling in the PHP documents. Because this is a client-side course, I did not need to worry too much about learning the PHP.
