Title: PHP 5 for Dummies
Publisher: For Dummies
Authors: Janet Valade
Rating: 5/5
I like the Dummies books.OK, so I'm not sophisticated, professional, or even very smart. But so many computer books seem to forget the first twenty pages that explain just what the hell you are trying to do. Perhaps the Dummies books take 40 pages to explain what could have been donw in 20, but that's not a problem. I can read fast.It has often happened that I first read a Dummies book and then once I'm deep into doing something with that language I need to go get a more complete Bible type book. I haven't gotten far enough into PHP yet to know if this is true, but in moving a web site over to Unix (BSD), Postgre, Apache, and PHP; I don't have the time to read a Bible on each one of these. This book, along with some other Dummies books is getting me started a lot faster than I thought possible.
Title: Google for Dummies
Publisher: For Dummies
Authors: Brad Hill
Rating: 3/5
First, let me say, that I did enjoy the first half of the book. I learned several things. The best part of the book was learning about the answer feature of google that I knew existed but never ventured into it because of the fee-based feature. If anything, he said to check how the researcher use google to answer people questions.Good information! And several key word operators were helpful. So,as a reference to check into once in awhile is not bad.But at 22 dollars I will explain why I was disappointed.
Mr. Hill spends way to much time on silly, worthless topics that are indirectly related to google. For God sake, he talks about a site that called elgooG that emulated google but everything is reverse.Why would I want to know that and how will that help me find information on google?
After the first half, I was ready to dig into it and waiting for some concrete examples of doing research with google.
In part 3, Putting google to work for you, I thought this is it. But rather then give numerous example how you can use google (using the main features )to get what you want, he talks about downloading google toolbar, or changing the language interface, duh! Anyone that has use google for than 1 month knows all that.
The book misses an oportunity to show how an expert researcher will use google to acquire information. Rather than spend time on stupid google games, alternatives to google,google site that mirrors google in reverse, I wish more time would have been spend on google and how to do kick ass research using one example and going through all the features and operators.
Title: Troubleshooting SQL
Publisher: McGraw-Hill Companies
Authors: Forrest, Ph.D. Houlette
Rating: 3/5
This book is about developing the skills to debug SQL. I particularly like the chapter
on best practices and the chapter on trees. Best practices talk about the things that
one should follow when doing SQL. I guess this would be particularly useful for people
developing "standard procedures" company-wide.The other chapter on Trees talks about implementing tree-like structure in databases. It
covers quite thoroughly on this topic and also zoomed in on various database-specific commands
like "connect by"(Oracle).Overall, this book is a good book on SQL, with chapters that cover normalization, choosing
datatypes and create,delete, insert ... and aggregate commands. The only thing I dislike
is that the author seems to be more well-verse in SQL Server and the examples are rather
SQL Server specific. :(
Title: PHP and MySQL Web Development, Second Edition
Publisher: Sams
Authors: Luke Welling, Laura Thomson
Rating: 5/5
I do not even want to count how many hundreds of dollars I have spent on PHP development books that were awful. Acres of code but if you are like me, and want practical applications of that code to truely understand it.The first paragraph states that this book is not that laundry list of code and then proceeds (IN PLAIN ENGLISH!) to explain some basics of code and then practical application of that code. What a breath of fresh air this book is.
Title: PHP Black Book
Publisher: Coriolis Group Books
Authors: Peter Moulding
Rating: 5/5
i read this book , i read this book again and i read this book thrice . except for a few things there is nothing that helped me . Most of the examples are poor to follow and many of them do not work .the only thing that can be learnt from the book is that there's nobody else in the world who can program better than Peter Moulding . Peter Moulding is a guru , he has learnt 50 websites , 25 years of experience , lots of languages etc. etc. etc. and other people who make websites are foolish but call themselves 'experts' .I am not writing this because of frustration but thats how the book really is
