About the Project

A project "Find a Doctor" is completed as the course progresses.

• Registration and Login Modules

• SQlite as Database.

• MySQL integration of the completed project is fully explained LIVE in 22 minutes

• Doctors and patients can update their profiles and pictures

• Source code is provided in zipped form for each step of completion

Even though the project is "Find a Doctor", but it can be thought of as a "customer-service provider project". Hence, it can be modified for a website where customers search for plumbers, technicians, etc., or for a website where students search for teachers of various subjects.

Modules of the project are INTERLACED with theory topics and added consistently. The last lecture finishes the project.
