Re: Books for PHP and MySQL Class

On 15 Nov 2001, dont@even.think.about.spam.com (The Big Roach) spake thusly: >I think a better strategy would be to introduce them to the basics of >databases in general as opposed to trying to "teach" MySQL to them. A >good primer on DB's would be "Databases for mere mortals" by ... ? some >guy! But the cover is orange/brown and not very thick. Can't find it >here... where did I put it. I get what you are saying here. Since I am leaning towards the single MySQL/PHP book, I might add the Mere Mortals book as well. I want them to have a reference that will serve them later for PHP and MySQL though I am developing a lot of the Database and SQL basics myself, just as I am developing a lot of the intro programming material-- but I do want them to have something to hold in their hands and take with them as well...
