Rezensionen

"Mit seinem gerade mal 350 Seiten starkem Werk PHP In A Nutshell schafft Paul Hudson, was manch anderer Autor in wesentlich dickeren und oft auch teureren Büchern nicht bewältigt. Er bietet ein kompaktes Buch das vom Aufbau, Syntax und den zugrunde liegenden Konzepten der PHP Sprache bis hin zu den üblichen Alltagsfragen alles Wichtige abdeckt. Der Leser erwirbt sich mit dem Buch ein nützliches Werkzeug, welches ich persönlich nicht mehr missen möchte." - Bernd Pommerehne, Linux Usergroup der Studentensiedlung Freiburg, März 2006
