Product Description

This book/DVD bundle represents a $25 savings versus the cost of buying them separately. It consists of the book Sams Teach Yourself PHP, MySQL, and Apache All in One and the video course Sams Teach Yourself PHP and MySQL: Video Learning Starter Kit. The Video Learning Starter Kit provides four hours of video training and lessons, along with all the source files and software -- PHP, MySQL and Apache -- the beginner needs to create and run the examples. Each 10-minute video lesson uses the same step-by-step learning structure that has proven so effective in all Sams Teach Yourself books - as well as the same clear and concise style, practical hands-on examples, and self-paced learning approach. The book combines the most popular open source web development tools into a complete book, packaged with one easy-to-use Starter Kit CD. The book teaches the reader to install, configure and set up PHP scripting language, the MySQL database system, and the Apache Web server. By the time users have watched the video lessons and completed the book they will understand how these technologies work, and more importantly, how they work together to create a dynamic web site

2.0 out of 5 stars Not Pleased, Mar 25 2011

By Michael J. - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Sams Teach Yourself PHP and MySQL: Video Learning Starter Kit Bundle (Paperback)

Well, what a disappointment this purchase was.

I can live with mis-spelled words in the manuals and understand sometimes a word slips by. However, when it is in the example code you are supposed to be using to learn, it is unacceptable. I have spent countless hours wondering why my code is spitting out errors only to find the examples have errors and mis-spellings.

I purchased the Book/Video bundle thinking that would a great way to learn PHP & MySQL. The problem is that they are two differnt products packaged together. They do not reference each other or instruct the proper way to use each item. I would think maybe instructions on read a chapter and then go to the video to finish would be a nice touch.

This was my first purchase from Sam's and I think my last as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Packs in a video starter kit pairing a video and book together, Feb 11 2010

By Midwest Book Review - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Sams Teach Yourself PHP and MySQL: Video Learning Starter Kit Bundle (Paperback)

SAMS TEACH YOURSELF PHP, MYSQL AND APACHE by Julie C. Meloni packs in a video starter kit pairing a video and book together. A CD-ROM includes a complete starter kit for Windows, Linux or Mac OS X and pairs well with a self-paced lesson plan that juxtaposes video lessons explaining key concepts with interactive learning tabs and small lessons that lend to browsing and quick learning. The value of this package is outstanding.
