About the Author

Robin Nixon has worked with and written about computers since the early 1980s (his first computer was a Tandy TRS 80 Model 1 with a massive 4KB of RAM!). One of the web sites he developed presented the world's first radio station licensed by the music copyright holders. In order to enable people to continue to surf while listening, Robin also developed the first known pop-up windows. He has also worked full time for one of Britain's main IT magazine publishers, where he held several roles including editorial, promotions, and cover disc editing.

Wer der englischen Sprache mächtig ist, dem ist dieses Werk sehr zu empfehlen. Die verschiedenen Themen sind locker und interessant beschrieben, so daß das Gelesene auch hängen bleibt. Anhand eines Miniprojekts kann man das Erlernte dann auch in Aktion sehen und gut in seine eigenen Projekte übernehmen. Die Themen bauen nacheinander aufeinander auf, so dass es selten Vorwärtsverweise gibt, beim Lesen bekommt man Lust auf mehr Input dieser Art.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great reference source for coding PHP, MySQL, JavaScript and jQuery
Reviewed in the United States on 3 June 2015

This is a great book, full of information on current web creation technology, covering modern usage of PHP, MySQL, JavaScript and jQuery. It serves as a good reference book, while at the same time, providing brief examples to illustrate how to use each command or function as it is presented. I found the book easy to read and understand, and the examples clear and to the point. When I first opened this book I considered myself a reasonably proficient PHP and MySQL coder, though I was using these technologies as they existed eight years ago, when I first learned them. The book opened my eyes to the newer tools that are now available as well as more modern approaches to coding, including object-oriented programming and the power of jQuery.

I think this book would serve a beginning coder well, but would be even more valuable to someone who already has some experience under their belt using one or more of these technologies. This book has become my go-to book for any coding or syntax questions, and a good book to just browse through to learn a new trick or two. I recommend it without hesitation to anyone that would like to improve their programming skills in the covered topics.
