The training program will provide a crash course in web development using agile methodology. Students will learn the basics of computing and e-commerce and then get hands-on with web development software and languages (WordPress, MySQL, HTML, PHP, CSS3) to build complex, engaging and user friendly websites. They will also learn about industry best practices and learn from other experts in their field. The entire program will equip participants to build fully functional websites from scratch in just a few hours.

Pakistan Development Program – PDP, the brainchild of Aijaz Qureshi, has two significant purposes: (1) to impart participants with a valuable skill so they can start building websites for a living; (2) to invest in Pakistan’s knowledge economy and contribute to improving the image of Pakistan globally.
