"Lots of code samples, but small explanations" according to GlitterJinzo. Though the material was fairly comprehensive, I didn't like the explanations and really didn't like the format and layout of the book. It was just pretty much a bunch of code samples with a tiny sidebar and some brief explanations of the code. If that's your kind of thing go for it, but the format didn't work for me. Also, there didn't really seem to be a clear structure or progression in the book, it was kind of random.. Fantastic Justin I've purchased this book and PHP 6 and MySQL 5 for Dynamic Web Sites: Visual QuickPro Guide, both by Larry Ullman. They're wonderful -- with them, I took my first steps into working with databases and a language like PHP. The step by step examples have made it very easy to learn and when I've been stuck -- I've gone to Larry's site and he's answered my questions in his forum. Two of the best purchases I've ever made. Highly recommended.. "Great PHP training book" according to Howard D. Dolginoff. Larry Ullman guides you through development of usable applications using PHP, Ajax, JavaScript and MySQL. He's an experience educator who practices the principles of layering concepts, so that each exercise makes use of the material you've just learned as well and reinforces the concepts you've learned earlier in the book. If you want to improve your PHP skills, trust this book to help you.
Thanks for your interest in the book. Second, whereas those other two books covers the topics in a planned sequence, often having one chapter build upon the next, this book has fourteen chapters of content that are primarily separate from each other, the exception being the three chapters on Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) that build upon each other. With this structure, my intention is that you can use this book in whatever way best meets your needs as you master the PHP programming language, the MySQL database server, and Web development in general: reading the chapters that are most pertinent to you, skipping around, etc.The first third of the book covers different individual, advanced techniques in various categories: general, Web application, database, security
