Re: good tutorials

HI, I beg to differ. I found PHP Essentials a terrific book for someone just starting out coding in PHP. It takes you from the basics all the way through to building a complete shopping cart. It put me on the fast track. We can always continue adding to our knowledge base. I guess it depends on how you learn, but I liked the modular approach and learning 1 piece at a tyme, then putting it all together.
