Great book for the beginner, but the book lacks any information on writing secure code on the web.

من العوامل الرئيسية للاستمرار في بذل اي مجهود , سرعة ظهور النتائج .
فمن المعلوم ان الانسان سرعان ما يصاب بالملل والتردد في بداية الطريق خصوصا في مجالات كهذه لذلك هو يحتاج ان يشعر بالانجاز ولو للحظة قصيرة يحس فيها انه يتقدم ولو كان هذا التقدم بخطىً متواضعه
حسنا هذا الكتاب سيعطيك هذا الشعور ويبث فيك هذه اللذة .. لذة الانجاز .
لعل ما زاد جودة هذا الكتاب ليتميز عن أشقائه في هذا المجال هو تعدد الكُتَّاب الذين شاركو في كتابته
لا تنصدم يا اخي من هذا العدد فمجال تطوير المواقع كبير يسعهم جميعا
ولكن الغريب هو السلاسة التي يتميز بها الكتاب
ستحس ان الكتاب قد خطه رجل واحد
اعتبر الكتاب بداية جيدة لسالكي الطريق
ومرجع ممتاز للمحترفين

Tons of information although on AMP programming although i would not recommend to the novice. Excellent reference.

[T Wechy]

I can't say enough good things about this book. No knowledge to creating a PHP / Apache CMS inside about 8 weeks. Excellent resource.
Since updated twice, but I don't need to upgrade yet.

[Miroslav]

It is good books for beginners.

What I don't like is the bad programming practices they are using.

[Robert]

Very good introduction to PHP5 with MySQL. This book includes a ton of examples of how to do various things. Ideal for someone just getting into PHP who is very hands on.
