This a good book to get you started in creating your own web site, been able to add content such a sign up form or a login feature. No to mention that in the last chapter you get to set up a basic social like Facebook or MySpace website type. But what is the best thing a about the book is the fact that all the technologies used throughout is open source. So you don't have to pay for anything when using the tools in this book. For reference, it does cover setup of a web development server for Linux, Mac and Windows. However, I would suggest that you might probably want to have some prior programming experience. Although, it is geared towards those without a programming background some of the concepts that it touches on are only briefly explained. In other words it would have been nicer if they would have expanded on some the programming material but overall everything is there. The only problem you might have is that you will have to read it very attentively and probably a couples times over for some of the concepts' explanations to sink in. But you will eventually get it as you walk through the examples and the book in general.Read full review
While newer versions of this book are available, even older versions provide a solid understanding of the components of a LAMP/WAMP/XAMP based website. Examples provide hands on experiences with the concepts that are taught. Highly recommended.
