 Just What You Need to Get Started |
| Review Date: February 11, 2005 |
| Reviewer: John Matlock, Winnemucca, NV |
If I were just starting off to do a dynamic page web site, that is database driven, this is exactly the software set that I would use. And here in one book is the majority of the software that you'd need to make it work. The only things missing are the operating system (Linux of course) and the mail package.
The nice thing about having all this in one package is that you have a consistent form of writing from software package to package. And you have a consistent set of needs. You don't need to talk about MySQL in business applications, you only need to know how it works in a web environment.
This is a programmer to programmer, beginner level book. It does not spend much time on the actual installation of the programs. I rate this as OK, because many of the Linux books (yes, you also have to have a Linux book) provide a distribution of Linux that include all of this software with instructions on how to install it. This book then picks up with comments on configuring the installation to best suit, this includes things like making PHP point to MySQL which may be lacking in the general installation instructions of the Linux book.
If you are headed to working with AMP (Apache, MySQL & PHP) this is an excellent place to start. It's well written, leads you through the building of a site, and by the end of the book you are well started. |
Book that inspired new ideas

This book presents a really good practical guidance to those who need a quick track in to AMP technology. It gives you a complete view on how all three components interact each other. It is nice to have some programming experience to better understand the projects that authors develop in front of your eyes in seamless and elegant way. And programming approach utilized with these projects could be easily crafted for your own needs. I believe it is a right way to get educated with the AMP by reading the books like given one.
The material is well-laid with the exclusion of one case where pictures 16-4 and 16-5 were just disordered, though it is obvious and not really confusing.
I like the book and keep it as a reference for a while. |
Excellent book !

Good points:
- very well explained
- good structure
- plenty of tips and explanations about advantages/disadvantages
- usefull examples
- nice way of programming and well documented
Bad points:
- Found the "pure" SQL part not enough documented, if you buy the book and are not a SQL geek, buy an additional book for SQL only
- Since you are reading this review, you haven't read it yet ! |
Excellent Book

| In the first few pages of this book, the new user of PHP, Apache, MySQL for web development gets a fast track into getting a server up and running fast, took me about 30 minutes. The remainder of the book is an excellent reference, with step by step howtos. This book brings the difficulty of getting a webserver running down to a level that brings success. |
Really good for beginners

| Great book for those, like me, who wants to start from zero with PHP5 and MySQL. I had no previous knowledge about this two languages, and in short time began to understand about it all. You may buy this book for sure! |
