Title: Great coming from a Perl background
Review: Having Perl knowledge, you can cover the first 200 pages in no time. If you haven't done any programming before, you might need to reference another book for more indepth examples. The bulk of the book is installing and configuring Apache/PHP/MySQL. I found myself skipping alot of it since I rent a server that already has it. I would give 3 stars for his review of PHP (should have provided more examples), and 5 stars for MySQL (feel completely confident exploring it now).
Is the review positive or negative?
