Rating: - A useful introduction to the *AMP stack.
This is a results-driven review. Three years ago, looking for work and interested in web dev, I wondered what this whole LAMP thing was all about. I inhaled the 2nd edition of Meloni's book, and created a small utility website. I landed some contract web dev work on the merits of that website. Two months later I was hired by a startup, and I've been there now for nearly three years.

Two thumbs up.

Rating: - Double-Shipped-SAMS Teach Yourself PHP, MySQL and Apache
SAMS publishes excellent tech subject books. This is no exception.

Shipment was prompt but I received TWO packages, one day apart of this order. No telling how this happened. Cannot tell if I was also DOUBLE-billed. Please check your records, I will check mine. Fine book, but I only wanted ONE.

First time a problem with any Amazon shipment.

Experienced developers can also benefit, as they will take away at least one good idea or perhaps view a project differently.

The book covers in depth many aspects of PHP, including a few that ... Read More

I wish I had taken the time to review this book before purchasing but that's on me. I bought this book because of the title and the work sessions described; very practical material. Fortunatley,these three applications(Apache,PHP and Mysql) came preconfigured with Fedora 10 so I was spared the headache of setting this up like so many others on this forum.I have programming experience but I am quite new to php and mysql. I started off with a little bit of the introductory chapters to become familiar ... Read More
