Jesus Prieto –
Lots of content indeed — not really an structure course
it has a lot of content — to me, I wish they just explain how php works “now” and not go so much on how it used to be coded before i was born — just as i was learning a new concept the next page starts with “now” it is coded differently, in essence, so i wasted a lot of time learning something that is now obsolete …. i could not find anywhere in the book how to upload and save an image in a MySQL database ….. i am at beginner’s level — and yes, a lot of effort was put into the making of the book, this review is my personal advise to its publisher so future editions can be more to just stick to how it is coded now. Correct me if I am wrong. I could be wrong tho. But that is how I feel about it that even after buying the book I still have to go online to learn something basic about PHP.
