Offering a step-by-step walk through understanding the three key
open source technologies that form the basis for most active web
servers, this book demonstrates how to quickly create a
professional-looking, functional site using Apache Web server, the
MySQL database system, and the PHP scripting language. You'll take
an in-depth look at why the combination of PHP, MySQL, and Apache
has become so popular: flawless interaction, flexibility,
customization, and cost, as well as their ability to run on both
Linux and Windows servers.

When it comes to creating dynamic web sites, the open source PHP language is red-hot property: used on more than 20 million web sites today, PHP is now more popular than Microsoft's ASP.NET technology. With our Cookbook's unique format, you can learn how to build dynamic web applications that work on any web browser. This revised new edition makes it easy to find specific solutions for programming challenges.

Справочные материалы по HTML, JavaScript, VBScript, CSS, Flash, Perl, PHP, MySQL, SSI, VRML

Эта книга окажется полезной для любого, кто занимается созданием Web-страниц, но главное ее назначение — помочь разработчикам Web-приложений.

Комлексное учебное пособие по изучению PHP, Perl, Delphi, Dreamweaver, HTML4. Очень полезный учебник с примерами.

От автора:
Ваше умение писать на php - мало влияет на уровень вашего дохода, это факт.
И многие очень неплохие программисты работают фактически за еду - 300-500 долларов в месяц, и считают это нормальным.
Что бы стать успешным фрилансером необходимо научиться продавать свои услуги клиентам.
Этому и посвящена моя книга - в ней я рассказываю о вещах, которые почти никто не делает, а зря.
Большинство этих методов легко реализуемы и их может внедрить каждый. До каждого из них можно дойти самостоятельно за несколько лет активной работы на фрилансе, а можно и не дойти.
Я предлагаю - сэкономить Ваше время, если вы начнете действовать по этим схемам прямо сейчас - вы уже через 3-4 месяца сможете выйти на высокий стабильный доход.

Dreamweaver CS4 is a massive step forward in terms of integration with the rest of the CS4 suite (Flash, Fireworks, Photoshop, etc.), and also includes a whole host of exciting new features of its own. The Essential Guide to Dreamweaver CS4 with CSS, Ajax, and PHP concentrates on getting the best out of Dreamweaver CS4, rather than going into every menu item and toolbar icon. The emphasis is on developing websites compliant with the latest web standards, using CSS, JavaScript libraries (with particular emphasis on Spry, Adobe's implementation of Ajax), and PHP.

The book covers all aspects of the new user interface, including workspace layouts, iconic panels, the related documents feature, Live View, Code Navigator, and Live Code. It also shows how to use the improved CSS editing features, and JavaScript code introspection. There is also coverage of other new features, such as version control through Subversion integration, and the improved support for Photoshop integration through the use of Smart Objects.

The web framework Ruby on Rails for developing database based web applications provides a Model-View-Controller framework. The required web server WEBrick is included with Ruby on Rails. The framework is configured with the MySQL database by default, but may be configured with another database.

The book covers developing web applications with Ruby on Rails. Technologies discussed include Ajax, directory services, and web services. A comparison is made with PHP, the most commonly used scripting language for developing web applications.

The PHP server-side scripting language and the MySQL database management system (DBMS) make a potent pair. Both are open-source products--free of charge for most purposes--remarkably strong, and capable of handling all but the most enormous transaction loads. Both are supported by large, skilled, and enthusiastic communities of architects, programmers, and designers. PHP and MySQL Web Development introduces readers (who are assumed to have little or no experience with the title subjects) to PHP and MySQL for the purpose of creating dynamic Internet sites. It teaches the same skills as introductory Active Server Pages (ASP) and ColdFusion books--technologies that address the same niche.

Authors Luke Welling and Laura Thomson's technique aims to get readers going on their own projects as soon as possible. They present easily digestible sections on specific technical processes--"Accessing array contents" and "Using encryption with PHP" are two examples. Each section centers on a sample program that strips the task at hand down to its essentials, enabling the reader to fit the process into his or her own solutions as required. Tables that list options and other nuggets of reference material appear as well, but the many examples and the authors' commentary on them take center stage.

For reference material on MySQL, have a look at Paul DuBois's MySQL. On the PHP side, Web Application Development with PHP 4.0 is excellent. --David Wall

Topics covered:

* The MySQL database server (for both Unix and Windows)
