For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))
PHP Books

Happy new year all.

Has anyone read the new "PHP Cookbook" from O'Reilly?
I'm after opinions on it as I already have "PHP Developers Cookboook" from Sams.

Is it a case of one or the other, but not both?

Hmm ... I have both here.   I've used / recommended the SAMS book for its coverage of database-independent coding in PHP, but it was the O'Reilly book that was on my dek when your post came in ...

By the way, the SAMS is in its second edition.  The new ISBN number is 0-672-32325-7, the older one  (the version I have) was 0-672-31924-1 and that was published in December 2000.  Just been going through the library these last two days and it's frightening how quickly things change.  Would you believe we have 29 PHP books?
