Description :
Get started in web development using PHP. Even if you’ve never programmed before, author Jason Lengstorf introduces you to PHP by building a PHP-based blogging site while covering all the good coding practices and skills that you’ll need when you start your own projects.

    Create web content with version 5.3 of PHP
    Learn good coding practices from the very beginning
    Learn how systems like WordPress work

Jason Lengstorf takes a practical approach to teaching you how to build a content management system. You’ll dive into writing web applications and be guided by the author’s supportive explanations, rather than learning elements of the PHP language and viewing examples after.

PHP for Absolute Beginners starts slowly and covers everything you need to know about beginning web development using PHP. Even the most inexperienced web developer will find this book accessible.
What you’ll learn

    Install Apache, MySQL, and PHP
    Navigate the PHP language
    Learn the basics of writing clean code
    Talk to a database
    Make a PHP site more secure
    Create a complete blogging site

Who is this book for?
PHP for Absolute Beginners is written for the complete novice; no previous coding knowledge is assumed, and all concepts are explained to ensure maximum understanding.

However, later chapters in the book may appeal to intermediate programmers looking to improve their abilities in the area of developing content management systems or those interested in making the move from procedural code to the more modular object-oriented approach.
