OMSAR has always been striving to keep up with the use of the latest technologies and tools in the field of web development and their introduction to the public administrations. Accordingly, and within the framework for promoting self-capacity building programs for web specialists in OMSAR and the public administrations, we have been especially interested in the emerging "open source" technologies, mainly because of their importance and spread, as well as their significant cost savings for creation and programming of websites and their benefits in future projects of interest to the public administrations and the Lebanese state like similar initiatives which have been implemented in many countries of the world.
In that context, OMSAR organized a five day training course on the PHP programming language, with attendees from various public entities.
