PHP Advanced for the World Wide Web: Visual QuickPro Guide-->What People Say
Reader Comments
Thanks for the advice and indeed, for the book. It's one of, if not, the
best books I've seen on PHP.

As a long-time fan of your Visual Quickpro Guide to PHP, I finally took the plunge last month and started Object Oriented Programming, and have found your book to be an extremely helpful resource. Keep up the good work!

I bought a copy of your book and the companion book for PHP/Mysql. Normally I learn programming from online manuals. I figured with 20 or so years programming experience in basic, C, perl, java and weirder stuff, and a few years working with and on app servers and other grungy tasks, learning PHP should take week or so of my time ;-). But then my kid was born-- and he won't let me sit down near a computer for more than 2 minutes!! Fortunately, I found your book and can read that at night when I'm exhausted. In the two weeks I've had them, I've learned loads of useful tips and tricks.
So, this email is just to say: great job! If I conceived of a book to teach me PHP for real-world tasks, this is the one I'd try to write for myself. Thank goodness you did it instead! It definitely is the book to own.
Look forward to seeing what you've got coming up next. I'd love to see you write a reference book for PHP, too. (Where do I send a check?)

First of all, thank you for your PHP advanced book. It
was quite useful and I'm running my own web site using
PHP.

I bought your book few weeks ago and wanted to thank you for a great job. I am a C++/Windows programmer but never designed anything for the web. I learned HTML & PHP recently and enjoyed your book tremendously. I am looking forward for some of the promised extras that are in the works.
I like both your publishing and programming style. Good job.

Just got through your PHP Advanced for www book - congrats on a well presented and concise reference book.

I just wanted to say "thanks" for a terrific pair of PHP books. I had
purchased several other titles and worked through portions of them, but they
often left me more confused than when I started, the examples were from
another planet, and there was no follow-through from one chapter to the
next.
Your approach of building on the same material, adding yet another layer of
complexity, is so much easier to follow, and your explanations are lucid. I
will recommend these to anyone whose ear I can bend.

I bought your book and I must say its really good.

I am enjoying the book very much. I cant put it down.

Ruby: Visual QuickStart Guide Complete!
I'm very happy to announce that I've completed my Ruby: Visual QuickStart Guide. The book should be available in about three weeks or so (around early November 2008). The book turned out well, I think, and it should hopefully be a nice addition to the relatively small catalog of Ruby books that are available. In particular, I think that the Ruby on Rails chapter is really nice. I was able to develop a real-world example that demonstrates many aspects of the Rails framework. It also covers Rails 2.1, which has some significant changes from the 1.x version of Rails. More news about this book to come in future newsletters and on this site!(October 7, 2008)
Newsletter #15 Released
Newsletter #15 went out in early August but I've been remiss in posting this update about it. It's relatively short, with most of the discussion on the business side of creating your own business. You can read it online at http://dmcinsights.com/newsletter.php. The next newsletter should go out in a few days.(September 2, 2008)
