Packed with real-world examples, this book teaches you all the essentials of server-side programming, from the fundamentals of PHP and MySQL coding to advanced topics such as form validation, session IDs, cookies, database queries and joins, file I/O operations, content management, and more.

Rating: 5 I’ve been a big fan of the Heads First series for a long time. The format of the Head First books is unique, engaging and effective. One could consider the Head First series to be comic book like. This is one of the series’ great virtues. The interactive layout and thoughtful way illustrations are integrated to text in order to explain ‘hard to get concepts’ really works. I use the series to learn and teach advanced programming topics. All the exciting things about the Heads First series shines through in PHP & MySQL. Heads First PHP & MySQL is for beginners. There is little prerequisite knowledge required to get benefit from the book. I have learned from years of teaching and mentoring that beginners learn best when presented with information in a way that is fun and hands on. Heads First PHP & MySQL meets this requirement with no problem. The book covers the range of topics that is standard for having a good foundation in programming in general and programming in PHP in particular. After finishing this book the reader will be able to create a data driven web site in PHP, leveraging that special relationship between the PHP programming language and the MySQL database. The reader will know why and how PHP and MySQL go hand in hand. The book throws in some extra tidbits. For example it teaches you how to make a data drive Rss Feed. It’s a good example that has real world bearing. Again, this is a beginners book. I caution ‘bosses’ that while giving this book to aspiring PHP developers is a good thing to do, you should not think that the book will create production ready coders. Coding in a production environment requires experience that is beyond the scope of this work. This being said, I look forward to reading an follow up volume to this work titled, Heads First Really Programming in PHP and MySQL in which the topics of object oriented programming in PHP and implementing the basic software design patterns are explained in a way that only a Heads First book could. Heads First PHP and MySQL is a great beginners book, one that should be on the bookshelf of every up and coming PHP developer. Buy Book at Lowest Price on Amazon
