  1. Please  review asking for help
    1. Please use the store files as templates. do not create something from scratch
    2. You should create new files for your files IN THE SAME FOLDER as your other files (your programming folder)
    3. Please notice the stores files all begin with store_ .  You can make a new file with a different prefix. For example, if you are doing something about games, you can make a file game_add_new_item.php and copy store_add_new_item.php into that file. 
    4. Every file should be a PHP file
    5. All file names must be lowercase, No CaPiTaL letters, please!!!!!

Our Big idea

The big idea for today is Course orientation.

The essential questions for this topic are:

What do I need to know, understand and do to be prepared for this class?

It takes time to explore and really understand a big idea. If you want to

We are learning this because as a designers must understand scientific and technical innovation. Designers use systems, models, methods, and processes to solve problems.
