Re: Re: PHP Books

Hi, all -- ..and then rotsky said... % .. % 'PHP Developer's Cookbook' - Sterling Hughes with contributions by Andrei % Zmievski (Sams). Still playing with this one. Definitely not for beginners % as it assumes (IMHO) a fairly well-developed familiarity with PHP concepts % and procedures and general wirehead argot. But I get the feeling that I'll % be turning to this one more and more as it is a resource of solutions to % specific problems. I have this as well, and I like it but I find it too limited. That is, I get some good examples, and they cover a lot of ground, but it's not at all a reference book. I'm a perl guy as well, and I compare it to the Perl Cookbook (which itself covers much more ground than the PHP Dev CB) rather than a nice fat reference *and* instruction book like Programming Perl. I must be a wirehead, since I hadn't touched PHP when I got the book and I kept up if not outpaced it as I worked through it :-0 HTH & HAND :-D -- David T-G * There is too much animal courage in (play) davidtg@justpickone.org * society and not sufficient moral courage.
