As a beginner's guide to PHP+MySQL, this book lives up to it's promise in a way few books for beginner's out there do.
Written in simple language and explains just enough for the beginner to understand and start doing on their own.
The exercises take readers from installation to forms to DB queries and it's a good way to prepare readers for the more complex stuff ahead. I wish I had started with this book.
