Negative Positive
Title: One of my biggest regrets
Review: I bought this book with the intention of learning PHP. I went into it with a some knowledge of programming, no knowledge of SQL, and a strong background in logic.I very quickly discovered that, rather than a learning guide, what I purchased was the source code for several applications with vague descriptions of how data was being handled.In fairness, I do find what i am looking for about 10% of the time. The other 90% I am either checking the web for source, discussions, or tutorals, or I am using the PHP manual and playing hit and miss.It is my experience that anything this book can offer is freely available from the Web. And that the Web offerings are usually better documented.If you are a beginner, look elsewhere. This book will likely leave you dumbfounded.If you are experienced, look elsewhere. This book will likely bore you to tears.
