I’m an avid Adobe “classroom in a book” fan and have been for my years now (too many to count). Adobe has always provided excellent support for their programs in this “mini lesson” style. This book easily breaks apart the twists and turns of InDesign in a well written format that will appeal to the novice and the frequent user.

A book for anyone starting to work with PHP and MySQL. This is my 3rd time using the Visual QuickPro series to learn about a web related topic. Every time I'm impressed with the ease at which the book teaches the given topic.

In the PHP book you start out with an introduction to PHP and MySQL. Which is nice for those of us who are just now diving into web programming. If you are well versed in the topic that's ok too. The book is broken into clear chapters that allow those who don't need to start from the beginning can jump right in on the topic of their choice.
