Php: A True Beginner's Guide! Problem Solving, Code, Data Science, Data Structures & Algorithms: Programming, Master's Handbook: A TRUE Beginner's ... (Code like a PRO in 24 hrs or less!) Paperback – 8 September 2015

This book has been recommended to me by my brother because I wanted to learn how to do programming and he is lazy to teach me. In this book I've learned what makes PHP stands out among the rest, it is innately integrated with almost every database, it is excellent combination of HTML/CSS and etc. In this book it was also mentioned the disadvantage of PHP which is that the code is only executed on the Server and "flexible but scatterbrained". Nevertheless, this book is a complete guide for a beginner like me, it will guide you through the step by step process in PHP. I will definitely recommend this book to my bestfriend.

Only the first 5 chapters. 'Phase two content' to come but does not tell you where to get it!I think this would put a complete beginner off. Some good concepts.

This is absolutely a beginners guide about PHP programming. It is an irrefutable instructive and definite book and I exceptionally prescribed this book as an expansion to your reference library. The book offers a logical explanation for all of the components of the language. I have been trying to learn how to program in interactive website. I found basically every chapter to be relevant. The chapters break down each language required with going into any subject to deep as to lose a novice. The books revolves around the PHP basics in the starting of the book and as the end approaches it is more and more advanced which is a good thing. The only way of learning PHP is by practicing and reading about it. The book helps in the reading part but the practice part has to be done by the user itself. Overall this is a good book to learn PHP.

I had learned programming in the PHP language a few years ago as part of my job. But since then, I didn't do any programming as my job didn't require it. But now after almost a decade, I need to use PHP for a project of mine. Since my knowledge of PHP has become rustic, I thought of refreshing my knowledge. I bought this book to see if it could help me. It has definitely helped me a lot in refreshing my knowledge and skills in PHP programming. It has pretty much explained almost all the concepts of PHP programming and given some great examples for explaining these concepts.

Not sure I would call this a "masters handbook" but it does give the reader needed information about the way to properly declare, initialize, etc variables, arrays, etc. The writer could have summed up the information in a pocket reference, which would have better served the reader IMO
