Most Helpful Customer Reviews   3 of 4 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars This book is a must have if..., 10 Jun 2008 By  Oliver (London) - See all my reviews If you are coming from website development with html/xhtml and would like to move on learning php, this is the book to have. It teaches you the very basic of programming from the very start with php so you have a solid foundation to keep building on. I bought so many books where the writer just expected you to sit in front of a computer with the book somewhere between the keyboard and the mouse; This is not one of them, you can read this book on the train without having a computer in front of you as there are numerous examples and the result that would have been printed on the screen if you had done them. At the end of the chapters, you also have exercises so you can learn by practice and monitor your progression (there you will need to be in front of your screen). The answers are at the end of the book. Comment Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
