PHP and MySQL Web Development

Expand Post »
PHP and MySQL Web Development
by Luke Welling, Laura Thomson

Extremely useful - This is a very useful book. If you're a web developer, and you're starting out with PHP, it will do wonders. It covers many important things such as creating a successful shopping cart, web based e-mail, web forums, and working with files such as PDF and images. What I enjoy most about this book is that it teaches you PHP and MySQL in a very coherent manner. In the beginning, it has a thorough introduction to PHP and its list of functions and it even covers PHP classes. It does this in a clean and understandable manner that is easy to follow. The chapters on MySQL and databases are also well put together. It covers the theory and implementation rather well using real world examples. Overall, it's an excellent book. If you're already a programmer, you'll fly through the chapters without any hassle.

Re: [Book Review] PHP and MySQL Web Development

I agree, this is the best book that I owned when starting out with PHP/MySQL.

I don't use it much anymore, as I only really use a function reference manual when I need to remember what exactly a function does, etc.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone new to PHP.

Re: PHP and MySQL Web Development

If anyone in Australia is considering buying this book then do it on Amazon. It's $40 cheaper than from a bookstore here even when shipping is taken into account. US dollar is finally working our way for once!
