Rating:  - MySQl-PHP textbook
As usual in text books, there is a lot of useless information that is not necessary, but since writers are paid by the word, this is to be expected.

Rating: - I really like this book
I really like this book--direct, no-nonsense, and intelligently written with a minimum of jokes.
