My compliments to the author. I have been a user of Dreamweaver for a couple of years and have been designing websites for about 3 years, but i had a very limited understanding of server-side programming and PHP. This book provided a very clear explanation of the differences between static and dynamic websites. This book also provides the benefit of the tutorials provided in each lesson. The tutorials are very thorough and structured in a relevant order. I would definitley recommend this book to any current users of DW who want to get into PHP and SQL. a beginners knowledge of web-design and programming experience would be a plus before getting into this book, but not a necessity. After working through this book , i feel that i am well educated in the subject of PHP and SQL databases, enough so that i can move on to a more advanced book and learn the more detailed aspects of PHP.
Also, i only used the PHP part of the book, because of personel preference. However, the book also does a excellent job in covering the ASP and CFM technologies as well.

Excellent book. Very thorough, but not too much. Bardzell was very good at predicting questions in the book just as they occurred to me. That is, just as I’d start to wonder various things and consider exploring to find the answer; I’d go back to reading instead and in the following paragraph(s), there was the answer. Little to no confusion on the details of how things were supposed to be set up or organized. The book is also very aware of possible redundancy in that practically right at the same time that I repeating complete instructions for a process AGAIN was getting annoying, Bardzell chimed in to say something like: “you’ve done this several times now , so I’m going to assume you don’t need a walk-through and conserve space for more pertinent information.” I finished the entire book/example website in about 1.5 weeks (the 21-25 hours predicted work time seems very accurate) and was actually somewhat sad when I flipped the last page to find the index. Very many useful things presented in very understandable presentation–very good book.

Absolutely love it. I’ve not been happier with a ‘project’ book.
Starts by giving you a static tour website that is time consuming to update.
Explains the differences between ASP, ColdFusion and PHP and gives the code for all, throughout.
Starts by doing simple site adjustments using styles. Goes on to explain how to setup the server side of ASP, ColdFusion, or PHP. How and why you set up forms for GET and POST.- to bringing the entire site to a dynamic site.
I’m only half way through the book so far and just starting to hit the database section.
It was a little harder to start at first because it is a bigger, less visual book in color and appearance. But once you realize the direction, it’s hard to put down.
I would buy this book all over again and will most likely get the Flash version, as well as the CS4 version just because.
