5.0 out of 5 stars Even Good For Intellectuals!, 27 April 2009
By Mr. P. Bruce "Pete" (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
All the Dummies books I've seen are good and this one is excellent! Janet Vallade really knows her stuff and she walks you through until suddenly you look back and see how far you've come. I'm already a developer and wanted to build my skills and yet this book is still very helpful.

If you're new to PHP development or even intermediate this book is a must have if you want to advance quickly. I bought it as a reference to keep on the shelf and refer to for years to come. It really does contain everything you need to know.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you need to learn PHP or MySQL buy this!, 11 July 2009
By Mr. S. Iles "sam" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is perfect for learning PHP and MySQL.

PHP is the preeminent programming language of the web and powers the world's most popular websites like Facebook. MySQL is used on nearly all these websites too and the two technologies are fundamental to anyone wanting to create a high quality website.

This book moves at a perfect pace - it makes it very easy for beginners to learn. Also, people with knowledge of other languages won't feel this moves to slowly. The book is also great for quickly finding a feature you need and provides clear and easy to understand code examples.

A great book highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars concise, fairly straight forward read., 14 Oct 2009
By Mr. Aled Moss (uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As the author explains, this is a reference book not a learning route. However, having started at the beggining and read through, thus far I have found it an easy book to follow.
