This book was great! It helped step through the basic and not so basic aspects of mysql and how it relates to php. The examples were easy to follow, but not condescending. It was helpful to have online access to the code. I really enjoyed the fact that he would give you enough information to understand the concept, but then had you figure things out on your own before giving the rest of the program. I have been impressed at the detail and helpfulness of this book.
