Book Description

Just Enough Web Programming with XHTML, PHP, and MySQL provides a layperson's guide to web programming for the casual web designer, student, or serious professional. The book explains how to build powerful interactive sites, whether you're designing a bulletin board, game, or web store. As part of the Just Enough series, the book provides "just enough" information to get you started quickly, without overloading you with unnecessary details. After a brief introduction, the book concisely explains the XML, XHTML, and CSS concepts you need to understand to start creating web sites. From there, you'll start programming and learning the basics of client side and server side scripting and web databases. Then it's time to put it all together using Content Management Systems. The book includes several chapters on emerging Web 2.0 and how you can put it to use to create your own interactive sites quickly. Part of the beauty of Just Enough Web Programming with XHTML, PHP, and MySQL is its breadth of coverage. By cutting out what you don't need, the book helps you learn a lot about web programming, and helps you put all of the information together to make a site quickly. So what are you waiting for? Let's get started!

This review is from: Just Enough Web Programming with XHTML, PHP, and MySQL (Paperback)
Just Enough Web Programming with XHTML, PHP, and MySQL
This Book is the least concise book I have ever read. There are 2-3 important things per page buried in fluff. I am completely new to this subject and want to start quickly so this book sounded great, but the book is more the author talking about "this is too technical so we will ignore it" then anything else he says it several times per chapter and spends a paragraph telling about where else in the book you can find more snippets about it.
