UrbanDweller Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Hey ive recently had a go at php/sql and found its quite fun and requires lots of problem solving which can be pretty enjoyable. My question is what books are out there that are good to learn the basics to advanced of php & mysql and possibly a good reference book. Any thoughts would be good. Thanks UrbanDweller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyKay47 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 php.net tizag.com no need for books when there are free resources on the web Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UrbanDweller Posted October 4, 2011 Author Share Posted October 4, 2011 Theres nothing like learning from a book though you can read it anywhere and its always a good reference. I do use those sites but i feel that they only mention each area lightly with no real learning curve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maq Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I personally like books for learning. The web is nice for reference and tutorials here and there. I like to follow a scenario or story so I can relate all the working parts and see how they work with each other. Although, I haven't used this series for PHP/MySQL, the "Head First" series has always been a fun & good learning experience: http://www.amazon.com/Head-First-MySQL-Lynn-Beighley/dp/0596006306 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
