For every developer who wants to build production-quality applications using PHP and MySQL. 

 

In this one-of-a-kind video package, top Web developer and Prentice Hall author Marc Wandschneider shows you exactly how to build reliable, secure, industrial-strength Web applications with PHP and MySQL. You’ll master both PHP and MySQL through 18 comprehensive video lessons, and you’ll have your first PHP/MySQL application running in less than an hour.

 

Wandschneider shows how to set up PHP on Windows and Mac OS X and then builds your skills by walking you through actual application development projects. Just click, watch, and learn efficient ways to implement user account creation, form validation, cookie and session management, file upload/download, and much more.

 

Everything’s taught visually, using sample applications ranging from a simple calculator to a full-fledged photo sharing site, and all the sample code is on the DVD.  Programming challenges at the end of each lesson teach you how to take your skills to the next level.  You’ll master essential PHP and MySQL best practices at your own pace and learn how to deliver production-quality PHP/MySQL solutions faster and more effectively.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't do waste your money, October 16, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: PHP and MySQL LiveLessons (Video Training) (Paperback)
You can find free video tutorials of similar quality on the internet.

Fatal Flaws:

*The paperback book does not follow the video properly. It acts as two different sources of information. Neither is very good.

*The software used in the video is outdated and the newer versions no longer function the same way. PLUS there are better utilities available now.

*The video lessons use examples that are not provided for you, so you can not easily work on an application together.

*The only web resource, [...], is just an affiliate redirect to another site where you can by more books/videos. The creator of[...] will get the commission.

I will NEVER buy any live lessons products.

I would suggest starting w3schools intro to php/mysql, it is not a video, but still very helpful.

4.0 out of 5 stars easy introduction to PHP and MySQL, December 23, 2008
This review is from: PHP and MySQL LiveLessons (Video Training) (Paperback)
Twenty years ago I took some video classes given by the IEEE. These were delivered via satellite. So at a given time, all over the US, people interested could go to some site hosting the event, and then get a lecture on a typically abstruse topic. Unidirectional, because the lecture was prerecorded. Reviewing these livelessons on PHP and MySQL reminded me of those now distant classes. The format is essentially the same. Though perhaps more convenient here, since you have the DVDs in hand and can play and replay them at your convenience.

This video appeals to those people who have trouble studying strictly from the printed word, be it in a book or webpage. I never had any problem with the latters, but there are definitely people who need something like a human tutor to nudge things along. For you, the video can be helpful.

The 18 lessons are about half an hour each. Short and focusing on a precise topic. The accompanying book, well actually it is a slim booklet, summarises the lessons. What the booklet shows is that the lessons don't really have much in them, compared to a fully fledged book on PHP and MySQL. But those books might easily be 500 pages or more and very forbidding to some. If this is your case, then these videos are a far easier and gentler introduction. After which you can move on to more indepth texts.

4.0 out of 5 stars PHP - MySQL Video Training Lessons By Marc Wandschneider, May 20, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: PHP and MySQL LiveLessons (Video Training) (Paperback)
This instructor knows this subject. However, he moves along very fast, and he assumes the student has a fairly substantial background in programming. If a student does not have substantial programming savvy, more elementary lessons first might be in order.
