Reader Reviews

Here some of the things people have been saying about this and other SitePoint books.

“ Well Kevin you have done it again only better. I thought Vol.3 was as good as it could get but this has improved on that. The screen prints with arrows showing what to click on were a real help to me. Keep up the good work. One critisism though ;-( Is there some way you can put on this site something to show when a URL or the filename changes as in PHP has changed from 5.2 to 5.3. Still I would recommend this to anyone who wants to learn PHP/MySQL from the ground up. ”

“ If you're wanting to learn PHP/MySQL from the ground up, this is certainly the way to do it. The book came highly recommended, and I now know why. Excellent layout, step-by-step instruction, and carefully crafted examples that really bring the points of the text home. If you're like me, you've looked at many books on this subject. I had great difficulty finding one that not only TAUGHT me how to use PHP, but did so with real-world examples AND attention to standards! I can't say this enough... buy it, you won't be disappointed! ”

“ I can honestly say that I have not come across books that teach so well. These books are well written, the projects in them are clearly explained and they work! ”

“ Hi, I just want you to know that I got my book shipped to Sweden really fast. Actually, I did get my book only one business day after you had shipped the book. This is not my first order and none of my books took 10 to 20 business days to receive. ;-) ”

“ I have three of SitePoint's books: The Web Design Business Kit, The CSS Anthology, and Build Your Own Database Driven Website Using PHP & MySQL. These books are very well written, easy to understand, and have helped me raise my business profile as well as given me an edge as a Web developer. The support team went out of its way to help me while I was on the road and away from my books - above and beyond the call of duty. Thank you Sitepoint! ”

“ I have just received my two books (CSS & PHP MySQL) today. You have got a first here as I am a miserable old git who has never written to a supplier before to commend them. Your service is brilliant and amazing, it beats local suppliers off the court. You can teach the rest of the world something about e-commerce. Well done ”

“ Excellent.....I have many sitepoint books now and they are without doubt the best written technical books I have ever read. Nothing is ever left out on the relevent subject matter and all the chapters are well structured and organised in a logical way. Provided you read the books from cover to cover you never get to any part of the book wondering what the hell the author is on about. ”

“ I have ordered most of the sitepoint books and this is because they are excellent value and there is no wasted content. It's all absolutely top quality tuition and presented in a way that is not too technical. Spot on! ”
