Excellent book, 30 Sep 2011

This review is from: Learning PHP, MySQL, and JavaScript: A Step-by-Step Guide to Creating Dynamic Websites (Paperback)

This is an excellent book, I have tried several times in the past to get into PHP/MySQL but have always eventually given up. However, this time, and with this book I have at last broken through the glass ceiling and truly making progress. The biggest problem that I find with open source is installing, configuring and getting it all to work. (I am using Windows 7). I did not use EasyPHP, as suggested in this book, as I had problems with windows firewall blocking access to localhost. Instead I used WAMPSERVER 2 and everything seems to work just fine. If you want to get off the ground with PHP/MySQL, then this is a great place to start.
