5 out of 5 stars Great Book, Was Very Pleased   July 28, 2009

This book covered a lot of material yet didn't seem to get bogged down in trivial "filler" that many big technical books do. It was an easy read but detailed enough for someone technical like myself.

4 out of 5 stars Thorough overview of php and mysql   June 22, 2009

This book can serve both as a reference guide as well as a practical introduction to php mysql. The book has a wider scope by not only exposing the reader to advance php programming and practical examples but also a detailed overview of mysql which is usually not found in php programming books. My only gripe is that the book could be written better in terms of style but overall this is a very good book to buy.

This book has an intelligent way of teaching beginners! Also an EXCELLENT resource for experts! For the price it is going for it is well worth your investment! I would pay twice as much for this same book had I had to do so!


5 out of 5 stars One of the best programming books I've ever read   June 5, 2009

This is a very good resource for learning PHP and MySQL. I have programming experience with [...], but this is the first time I have ever done work with PHP and web development.

This book helped me put together a dynamic photo gallery with a secured session controlled web based administration interface very fast. I can not recommend it highly enough. The examples are very useful; even the example projects. It teaches you how to build a shopping cart, email service, etc...

The writing is very concise and neat, and the book itself well organized. It seems like a lot of hard work went into making it because it flows very well.

PHP is a very easy and powerful language that I'm glad I am now utilizing, thanks to this book.

Tip: Windows does not have a PHP parser. To save yourself money for a testing server, and the hassle of uploading your work every time you update it, use WAMP Server. It's free from [...] and it supports PHP, MySQL databases, and other stuff. It is very convienent.
