Sunday, March 11, 2012 · Posted in

This short course of 12 parts videos could really help to make you understand the basics in computing or in computer science, it does for me. Although the target audience is children, I believe the information delivered in this series is unknown for even college students. I benefited from these series of videos greatly.

Title : Professional PHP Programming
Publishers : Wrox Press
Authors : Jesus Castagnetto, Harish Rawat, Sascha Schumann, Chris Scollo, Deepak Veliath
ISBN : 1861002963 (1-861002-96-3)


This is a very good book, it's easy enough for me. This book was introduce by one of my lecturer Encik Marhakim, in web programming class during my diploma study. (I just have to credit him for being a great lecturer).

This book covers middle-tier programming with PHP.

PHP is a server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language. It is an open source technology, rapidly gaining popularity as a scripting language for people running dynamic websites. One of its major attractions over Perl, javascript and other scripting languages is that PHP has a built-in database integration layer and seamless IP connectivity, with LDAP and TCP as well as the IMAP mail interface.

Features
  • Real world, practical experience and techniques
  • From installation and configuration of the PHP engine to advanced dynamic application design
  • Definitive coverage of core PHP language and database addressing
  • MySQL is covered in depth.
  • Practical e-commerce and business scripting including database application development, together with PHP and XML applications.
  • LDAP connectivity addressed.
