Review title: Excellent Resource
Product review: I have been somewhat nervous about buying Wrox books. They, like the O'Reilly books, are not geared for the beginner. This book follows suit, if you are a newbie to web programming or programming in general, this book won't help you get over that hurdle. However, being familiar with programming, I found the book easy to understand. Note, that you will need to know HTML -- this book does NOT cover HTML.I used Medinets books to give myself an introduction and used this behomoth book to fill in the rest. The book offers a comprehensive coverage. Everything from image processing, SQL database connections, and other things are covered. In addition, Fast Templates are covered (albeit not too clearly). I felt the book could have used more examples -- especially early on.This book is an invaluable resource. If you are planning on using PHP, by all means pick up this book and Medinet's book.
