Title: Professional PHP Programming
Publisher:
Authors: Jesus Castagnetto, Sascha Schumann, Harish Rawat, Chris Scollo, Deepak T. Veliath
Rating: 4/5
Rarely, do I ever read a book with a lot of meat in it. This book has a lot of meat. It explains PHP in detail with a good knowledge base all around. I have read better books before but this is definitely on of the better ones. Sure its not literature like some people expected on there reviews but hey its a computer programming book not Shakespear (nor would I read Shakespear anyways).

This book taught me how to program in PHP in just one day. However, I don't think the beginner will spin up that quickly but I do recommend it for someone with some experience in programming that wants to learn what PHP is all about. This book actually had me writing code that would connect and use a MySQL database with ease. To be fair, sometimes the book didn't do a good job explaining some of the concepts but overall it was sufficient. I dont recommend this book to experienced PHP users. But it is great for beginners to intermediate.
Title: Microsoft(r) SQL Server(tm) 2000 Analysis Services Step by Step
Publisher: Microsoft Press
Authors: OLAP Train, Reed Jacobson
Rating: 3/5
This book is very basic and should provide a good foundation for those people who are not familiar with SQL 7's OLAP or the newer implementation called 'analysis services'.It is easy to read, the examples on the cd work perfectly and the tutorials provide a good overview of how to create your own cubes.It's pretty thin and after reading through the first few chapters I found myself putting it down and just diving into designing my own stuff with microsoft's interface. It's a very logical application and with little or no resource materials people could easily figure this out with the tutorials included with the software.This is not a good reference book, though I'm at a loss as to what would be a decent reference book on this subject since it's one of those things you either know or you don't.MDX is VERY thin, and since you can teach the basics to yourself, a reference/primer book on MDX may suit you better.
Title: Sybase Transact SQL Guidelines Best Practices
Publisher: Isosf Software
Authors: Mich Talebzadeh, Ryan Thomas Putnam
Rating: 5/5
My colleague attended Sybase TechWave 2004 and received a copy of this book from Sybase. I have read it and I like its style. The authors have tried to explain complex topics in practical terms. I was most impressed by chapters covering Data Access, Query Tuning, Cursors and Joins. I recommend it to every Transact SQL developer Sybase or Microsoft. It covers practical aspects without being tedious.
Title: Sams Teach Yourself SQL in 10 Minutes, Third Edition
Publisher: Sams
Authors: Ben Forta
Rating: 5/5
This is a thin reference book, actually. The name is somewhat misleading in that there are no exercises generally associated with "Teach yourself X in Y time" type books. Although I don't work extensively with databases, it's a good reference book to recall how to structure queries in a manner that's simple and straightforward.
