Great way to learn php and mysql

Andy Harris has written a gem of a book. He is clearly an educator who has thought about how to teach programming. This book takes you step by step through php, introducing excellent examples and adding to them as the book moves along. This is a good text to use as an instructor or it would be great for self study. Clearly the best beginning book on the subject.

While the book covers php and mysql from the beginning, it would help if the reader had a background in html, css and some programming. Great book on beginning PL/SQL

This is by far the best book that I have seen on beginning PL/SQL. The chapters are well laid out and each chapter builds on the previous on. The book is very complete and doesn't assume any prior knowledge and it also looks at topics indepth. I have also found it to be a good technical reference when I forget the syntax for a command. I would highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to begin or learn more on PL/SQL. Excellent Introduction to PHP

This book's good, but only for learning PHP properly in your own time. Its not that great as an on-the-job reference book since it does not cover everything from all angles(few books do or should). The authors all help out at phpbuilder.com and I find the search facility there more helpful for day to day programming needs. So with the book and the free, searchable, online help these guys deserve every penny they get from sales of this book. What is proof reading

I think the author did good but it all went to pot at the proofreaders. A typo, error, or omission in 1 out of 15 pages. I had to write stuff in and cross stuff out. It would throw the novice SQL person off on XML alone because of the thouroughly botched job between XML auto and XML raw and claiming that the ELEMENT phrase can be used with XML RAW which it can not. One of many errors. Buy the MS training book, read BOL, get transcenders, but stay clear of this unless you are a seasoned pro that can pick out the mistakes from the good stuff Clearly information collected into one handy reference

Although Oracle does a reasonable job of clearly explaining SQL*Loader, this guide takes it a giant leap forward. First it collects everything you ever needed or wanted to know about SQL*Loader into a 251 page reference. It's written in a friendlier fashion than Oracle's documentation, and with more examples that are better written. On the whole, this promotes a better understanding of SQL*Loader, its strengths and limitations, and will allow DBAs to master every facet and nuance of this powerful tool. Considering the damage that can be inflicted on a production database if SQL*Loader is improperly used, all DBAs who use this tool to load data (and who doesn't?) should read this book and have a copy on their desk.Another use for this book is as a training aid for new DBAs and as the basis for database administration policies and procedures that spell out when and how to load data into a production system. It also contains a wealth of information that can be incorporated into change control implementation and rollback plans when massive updates need to be performed. I like the thorough treatment, the fact that it's up-to-date, and the advice and tips that are imparted throughout this book. It's definitely a good addition to your professional library. Good SQL guide - straight to the point

I knew little about SQL when I picked up this book, but I have learned exactly what I needed for my project. I am still using it for reference sometimes. A good book to learn about SQL syntax! Excellent book on writing SQL Server code

Don't let the one star reviewer put you off. This is a good book available at a bargain 2nd-hand price. The joke below about fitting this content into a book of 250 pages shows that another reviewer doesn't know what he's talking about. But the examples are a bit OTT as the case studies are large so there's a bit of repetition. It could probably have been shrunk to about 700 pages (rather than 900) with smaller (kiddy type) case studies. Likewise it's not possible to overdo normalization - just because some so-called professionals don't bother with it as much as they should is no reason why a beginner shouldn't learn best practice.The writer assumes that you already know Visual Basic 6 so doesn't cover much VB code. The focus is on SQL Server 7 stored procedures which are professionally done. The "Beginning" title is a bit misleading too. This is a book for serious programmers who, although still beginners, want to be good - not for hackers.The book is well made with hardly any errors that I've spotted and the code examples work.I recommend Vieira's two books as well - on SQL Server 7 and 2000.4 stars only (nearly 5) - the case studies are a little larger than need be. A little like reading the BOL, only not as well written

Reading this book is like reading the BOL (many sections resemble the BOL far too closely), only it's not as well written as the BOL :-) I wish I could come up with something positive to say about the book, but there really isn't anything. It offers nothing more than what you might expect to find in the BOL, except that it's written really poorly. These guys should definitely keep their day jobs. Good intro to PHP

This book is an excellent introduction to programming on the web with PHP. It doesn't require that you have any programming background before diving into the book. Although it is a little shorter than I would have liked, it's a great book to get you started with PHP. Worth the price for the XML goodies alone

Henderson writes in a style that is refreshingly clear. I found the book very easy to follow. The stored procedure discussions are the best I've found anywhere. The book really delivers by getting into every facet of Sql Server. The best part are the XML discussions. The intro on XML is better than any I've found elsewhere. The subsequent chapters on SQL XML are easy to read, nitpickingly detailed, and very deep. I would have paid the price I did to get the SQL XML goodies alone.
