Have you ever wanted to design your own website or browser application but thought it would be too difficult or maybe you just didn’t know where to start? Have you found the amount of information on the Internet either too daunting or not geared for your skill set or worse– just plain boring? Are you interested in learning to program PHP and mySQL web development and have some fun along the way?  (By the way, PHP is the language that Facebook and many other web applications are programmed with.)

If so, then The Joy of PHP 5th edition by Alan Forbes is the book for you!
