Rezensionen
"Das Buch ist voll gepackt mit einer umfangreichen Sammlung an Programmiertipps, mit deren Hilfe ein Programmierer seine Website zusammenbauen kann.
Die Rezeptsammlung fürs Programmieren orientiert sich stark an den konkreten Bedürfnissen eines PHP-Programmierers, der mit Hilfe dieser Skriptsprache seine Website aufbauen will. Darum stehen am Anfang auch zwei Kapitel, die sich vor allem mit dem Design einer Site befassen. Es geht da um originelle Design-Gimmicks sowie DHTML-Tricks und wie man diese mit Hilfe von PHP umsetzen kann. Auch das Thema Grafik und PHP kommt in diesem Zusammenhang ausführlich zur Sprache. Anschließend geht es um spezielle Fragen, die sich dem Programmierer beim Entwickeln von dynamischen Web-Anwendungen stellen. [...]Das Buch bewegt sich kaum im Bereich der Theorie. Es werden konkrete Szenarien entworfen und dafür eine originelle PHP-Lösung präsentiert: Hundert konkrete Tipps in zehn Kapiteln auf über 400 Seiten - [...] sollte im Regal keines PHP-Programmierers fehlen. Buch-Tipp!" - Internet Professionell, April 2006
