For developing web-based and database driven high-performance, dynamic Web applications at express speed, PHP (powerful scripting language) and MySQL (quick and reliable database) are absolutely the only pair of best partners. Tutorials about them, I came close to forget this classic bible-level PHP and MySQL Web Development, Fourth Edition (although a bit old without involving the newest features).

This book is suitable for all levels of PHP programmers to read. And there is one fact that, at present, it's hard to find many well written PHP tutorials, especially the rare ones referring to advanced parts. AppNee believes that after reading many similar tutorials, you will eventually return to this best reference book for PHP and MySQL programmers. And you will experience that you can learn something new each time you read it, so that it enables you to progress quickly, rather than wasting your time.

BTW, PHP and MySQL Web Development, 5th Edition will be published on 04/22/2016, just remember to remind us to update it for you. Again, I think you'd better don't miss the Beginning PHP and MySQL, 4th Edition, which is known as "New Bible" in PHP and MySQL fields.
