This textbook was clearly written and furnished with good examples. I read it pretty swiftly, took a bunch of notes and now I've got some ideas on how to use what I've since learned. I was pretty happy with this writer and publisher. The only parts I skimmed through were a couple chapters on installation since that doesn't really apply to my situation. Now the real test will be how well I get with turning my ideas into fruition. Feeling pretty good, though, feeling pretty good.
I'd recommend this book to any novice or professional. It covers all the basic aspects of PHP 5 along with mySQL implementation. Very good book to read and have on hand for reference.
Very well done. The only way it could be better is if it could be updated. In that sense, it is a great resource.
