As a powerful, flexible, easy to learn, and easy to deploy language, PHP provides a platform for an easy transition into web technologies for Multivalue BASIC developers. In this session we'll look at the basics of PHP and discuss how we can leverage our U2 data and programming from a web context.

Apache and PHP have become a popular framework and platform for Web 2.0 and HTML5 development. Since they are both Open Source, you can find precompiled applications for just about any OS and hardware being used.

Now the MultiValue developers don't need to feel left out. In this session we'll show how easy it is to download, install, and start working with Apache and PHP.

Billed as "A rock solid default for HTML5 awesome." the HTML 5 Boilerplate was developed by Paul Irish, a Google developer, to pull together best practices for developing web pages with an HTML 5 doctype. Let's take a look at how to use the features of this template and tailor it to your needs. While this talk will be relevant to developers interested in writing web-based (including mobile) software using any of the MV DBMS's, I will also show the toolkit we use for developing our web-based application using the Zen AJAX framework from InterSystems Cache'. The HTML5 Boilerplate has been integrated into many CMS toolsets, and now we have it integrated into our generated pages too. In addition to discussing the features and benefits of the HTML5 Boilerplate, I will demo our Zen development studio environment. We will create a web page from our page template so that we get the Boilerplate features. This presentation should be fun for anyone interested in either the HTML5 Boilerplate or those who would just like a peak at how we are writing a brand new MultiValue application using the Zen AJAX platform that comes with Cache'.

Cascading Style Sheets provide a powerful way to take an otherwise ordinary web page and transform it into something beautiful.
