A great book to get in the door with all three languages, 2010-03-09
So I came into reading this one with a background of knowing XHTML and CSS. I've played a very tiny bit with javascipt, but as far as really being able to do anything at all with it I was lost.
This book is a great intro to all three of these different languages. The author does a good job of explaining everything very clearly and uses good examples of how what your leaning works. The review questions at the end of each chapter are also great.
I would recommend anyhow who is thinking of learning these core web languages to pick this book up. Its a great investment and mine is all ready getting plenty of use.
Great, 2010-02-01
I'm a beginner at php, MySQL and javascript, but reading through this book and doing the examples simultaneously made learning fast and easy. The writing style is easy to understand and topics are repeated enough to refresh your memory through the chapters. I strongly recommend this book!
Abundatntly nonsensical and no logical order to teaching, giving examples, and giving answers..., 2010-01-30
Let me start out by saying that I originally gave this 4 stars because it doesn't explain concepts for new developers to php. The books assumes that you have computer programming knowledge even though it states you don't have to in the description, which luckily I have programming experience so I could understand the concepts but just gave a warning to new developers with no programming experience in my first review. I had to then take it down to 1 star because the book has no logical order in which it teaches you the concepts, gives examples and gives answers or follow-ups. Example: the book would show you an example of the concept(an actual hard code example), then explain the concepts, then tell you what happens when the code runs. Because of this style/order(or lack of it) it makes it hard to learn. There is useful information in this book but you can find far better books out there that have some form of logic and order to the construction of the material. I really have no idea how this book made it past his editor and publication company because O'Reily usually has great books. Do yourself a favor and save a lot of headaches and try a different book. I usually don't write negative reviews(you can look in my review history) but this book is COMPLETELY nonsensical and has no logical order.
Creating Dynamic Website for a novice, 2010-01-30
I have been invited to participate on a project which includes Creating Dynamic Website. My only option to acquire appropriate knowledge has been a self teaching undertaking. From a variety of books covering the subject, so far as I can see I picked the right one, the one I am writing about.
I received the book by post 16, January of this year and so far I have covered one quarter of the book, almost all first part about PHP coding. Although I am not a novice in coding and programming, all I can briefly say, was that I picked the right book for my problem. It is very neatly presented, leaving little doubt and confusion students might have when facing a new subject. I hope that the same quality of presentation will continue to the last page. My sincere thanks and prize to the author of the book for a job well done.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, 2010-01-09
It is rare that I am so inspired to write a review for something. This book made learning easy. I must say that without the experience of taking a Java programming class at my college (the only programming experience I have), I would have likely had to make use of additional sources to fully grasp the PHP - object oriented section of this book. But even so, I still highly recommend this book to anybody wanting to create a highly functional website.
After spending about 2 weeks with it, I am already building dynamic websites that are impressing even myself. It is written very well and has great examples for practice coding. FIVE STARS without question!
