... not that good. It's unfortunate that the only book dedicated to php game programming really falls short on many levels. The main problem with this book, is it jumps from the very basics of php and mysql to extremely advanced topics all within a matter of a few pages... entirely omitting users ...
+ Ideal book for those who currently have some PHP, XML, JavaScript and MySQL already under their belt. + Packt Publishing Nails Another One!
AJAX and PHP: Building Responsive Web Applications
This is a great book for beginners as well as intermediate users of AJAX.
I have about 5 years of experience with PHP and 7 with Javascript and I had none with AJAX. I read a few tutorials online about AJAX and after reading some of this ...
This books covers a good amount of the topics on the certification, and I would definitely recommend it for the certification and general PHP knowledge. You will probably need more than this to pass the certification. I would recommend taking the online practice tests from the Zend certification ...
With the help of this book, I created a basic intranet with many apps including a timecard, messaging app, calendar, contact book etc. only in 3 days!
Wow! Love it!
The book was exactly as described. Is in great condition and saved me a bunch of money instead of buying it through my campus bookstore. Delivery was fast. Will order from them again.
+ best design pattern book for PHP yet. + Great book!
A great book for design patterns comprehension in PHP. There is a huge variety of patterns explained in this book, which helped me a lot. It also provides a very well written text with an easy comprehension, even for beginners in design patterns area.
+ An Excellent Book For The Intermediate PHP Programmer
This is your basic huge book of php concepts from the basics to the advanced. It reads more like a manual than a demonstration or tutorial.
I would recomend it to anyone looking to get a good overview of php 5
Dispite some minor discrepencies pointed out by another reviewer, the information in this book is very useful. If you want to build complex database web applications with PHP, then Postgres is the right RDBMS to use and this book is the right book to guide you. Well worth the money.
A must read for intermediate level PHP Programmers or above
+ Good INTERMEDIATE Book
This is a hefty tome, weighing in at 650 pages chocked full of great information about advanced PHP programming. The book is divided into five sections each with several to many chapters. The sections are Implementation and Development Methodologies, Caching, Distributed Applications, Performance, ...
+ Opened my eyes! + VERY VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
This book is essential for anyone starting out in PHP, but not only for them. It offers tips for almost any skill level, maybe you know some of the ways to keep your site secure but Chris really goes in depth on some of them.
The code snippets are short, simple, but convey the point exactly as ...
+ An excellent book to upgrade our php skill to the next level + RE: Good tips and tricks for advanced development.
You may love or hate this book, since it's not the usual collection of code recipes, it's about application developing, methodologies and good coding practices. Heartily recommended, but only to advanced developers
+ Good overview, nowhere near enough problems on sample exam
I just took and passed the the test today and read this book cover to cover twice. I think it is a great book, but it seemed that the book's questions were a lot harder then the exams.
+ Good information, awkward reading. + The only book I used to learn OOP php
Peter Lavin provides us with sound, easy to understand concepts, techniques, and examples in Object-Oriented PHP. This book woke me up to the universe of OOPhp where many other PHP5 books had put me to sleep or utterly confused. If you want to get a grasp on how to implement Object-Oriented ...
I found that this book was an excellent 2nd PHP book. I understand the frustration of those who found it uninstructional. I also bought PHP fast&easy web development which is a step-by-step tutorial in PHP. But now that I've done the tutorial I'm REALLY glad I picked up both. If you're just ...
