On CodeSnipers.com there's a new book review of one of O'Reilly's PHP-related offerings, "PHP Hacks" by "Jack D. Herrington".   I had borrowed a Perl Hacks book from and friend and really liked it, it was great! It had a lot of practical things as well as some fun things. I expected the same from PHP Hacks and I was not disappointed!   She links to both the table of contents and the sample chapter to give you an idea of the feel of the book. There's two main sections in the review covering both aspects of the book - the Practical Stuff and the Fun Stuff. Of course, no book is perfect, so there is one thing she mentions that wasn't really worked into the book, but you'll need to read the review to find out what.

By Cooper, Phil  Forgive the cliche, but I was in Starbucks in PaIo Alto circa April 1999, the epicentre of the first internet boom a year before the dot-bomb detonated. Start-up executives hustled VCs. who ditched their shirts in favour of black turtlenecks.

On the Zend Developer Zone today, Cal Evans has posted his look at the Phrasebook series from Sams Publishing covering Javascript, MySQL, Apache, and, of course, PHP.   I get a lot of books to review. Currently the stack is about waist high and UPS hasn't been here this morning. So in an effort to trim down that stack of books, I'm going to talk about books 4 in one review.   He looks briefly at the contents for each of the books, pointing out specific areas they seemed particularly helpful in. He doesn't recommend them to someone trying to learn the language right off the mark. These are, as their title implies, just clips and handy snippets of information to help you get to where you're going. You have to know how to get on the road first, though...

When it comes to money, we all make mistakes -- sticking with a dog-of-a-stock too long, taking too little risk (or too much), buying a house that's too expensive, drinking overpriced designer coffee. The list goes on.

I donât like self-proclaimed prophets. So, you'll rarely see me quoting them. I guess my aversion originates in so many presentations where the next [insert application or company here] âkillerâ will emerge if we invest some money. And yes, I admit I sat on the side of the table talking about a couple  of those killer apps myself.

On the Zend Developer Zone today, Cal Evans has posted a review of one of Wrox Press' latest PHP-related offerings, "Professional Search Engine Optimization with PHP" (by Jamie Sirovich and Cristian Darie).   I'd like to say that this book has changed my way of thinking about SEO Professionals, but it hasn't. It has, however, given me enough information so that I can make my own projects more SE friendly and allow me to help my friends do the same.   Cal talks about the contents of the book, including his favorite chapter (chapter 2) that gives a quick-hit primer to the world of search engine optimization. The rest of the book is divided up into specialization topics inside of SEO like "SE Friendly URLs", "Duplicate Content" and "Link Bait". Plus, check out what Cal has to say about one of the Appendixes...

If there is a truth in advertising award for books, specifically book titles, S. L. Price's "Far Afield" is on my short list for 2007 honors. It is literally all over the place, and that's meant as an unqualified compliment.

Over on the KillerPHP blog today, there's four new book review postings covering a wide range of books for all skill levels and all from O'Reilly.   The books he (quickly) reviews are:  Build Your Own Database Driven Website Using PHP & MySQL PHP Hacks Programming PHP, Second Edition Learning PHP & MySQL  Overall, he enjoyed and would recommend the books, but each of them definitely has their place in a developer's learning process as well as their own unique fit as far as what the developer needs (ex. quick hacks versus general information).
