If you know HTML, this guide will have you building interactive
websites quickly. You'll learn how to create responsive,
data-driven websites with PHP, MySQL, and JavaScript, regardless of
whether you already know how to program. Discover how the powerful
combination of PHP and MySQL provides an easy way to build modern
websites complete with dynamic data and user interaction. You'll
also learn how to add JavaScript to create rich Internet
applications and websites.
Learning PHP, MySQL, and JavaScript explains each
technology separately, shows you how to combine them, and
introduces valuable web programming concepts, including objects,
XHTML, cookies, and session management. You'll practice what you've
learned with review questions in each chapter, and find a sample
social networking platform built with the elements introduced in
this book.
This book will help you:
GreatReviewed by Preston J. Frazier, 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...Reviewed by David M. White, 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 noviceReviewed by E. Volf, 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 RECOMMENDEDReviewed by Ryan Miller, 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!
Need more like this!Reviewed by Running Bill, 2009-12-23
I agree with what's already been said about the code working and
the author communicating well. Too often I've been disappointed
with an over-abundance of typos or just bad instruction, both
really frustrating when already faced with the challenge of
learning something new. But this book definitely delivers
there.
The reason I was really excited about this title and why I'm loving
it so much as I go through it is that it focuses on combining all
three and talks about real-world situations. You might read a PHP
or javascript book that does the job teaching you those on their
own but when it's time to close the book and use them on a real
website, you'd be lost or Googling a LOT of things. Most "cool"
sites do a good job of making their scripting languages work well
together, and this book will show you how to do that, and it serves
as a great jump-off for more advanced scripting later. It's like
the author said "I know what you're trying to accomplish, here's
how to do it."
Awesome job and I hope to see more like this!
