Review:
Being a complete newbie to advanced scripting languages (ok, I know some javascript, but that's all) I wanted to learn PHP. And there couldn't be an easier book than this one. This book covers PHP as well as some basic programming elements needed to understand PHP. A wonderful way to learn not only coding in PHP, but coding in general. Certainly, this book is recommended for people who want to learn PHP.

Review:
The title of this book invites comment. "Some things weren't meant for dummies and Unix is one of them," you might say. Wrong! Levine and Young take advantage of the Dummies format's strength with command-line operating systems. They flatten the learning curve and have even the greenest beginner doing useful work with Unix in mere hours. Once you get past a couple of pointless chapters about offering pizza to Unix experts in exchange for help, you'll find conceptual explanations of files, directories, permissions, and redirection. Command explanations take a hybrid form; they mix "type this verbatim" statements with tables showing switches and parameters. Much of Unix for Dummies is task-oriented. You'll find a whole chapter on printing, fo... Rest of this review on the detail page
