This is an excellent book for someone is already with basic PHP and wants to learn more. I found the book easy to dive into a chapter and know stuff coming out. I have no doubt that I will use it as a reference when starting projects, or need to remind myself of a concept and how it is delivered in PHP. I love the Tip comments :-)
If there was to be another chapter one on APIs and PHP would made it amazing e.g. 5 stars. . This book would have being even better if it had used colour to make some of its points.
