 What books did you read?
Well, when it came to learning PHP I went ahead and bought a book. It's the only programming/coding/computer related book I've ever read, and I honestly thought it was pretty good for a beginner.
Sams Teach Yourself PHP (In 24 hours)
Is the title of the book, picked it up at Chapters.
What books have you all read about programming?

I can't remember the exact name, but it was an Apress book written by Jason something. I can't be bothered to go look.
Anyway, it was a good book to start off with, but considering it says "Intermediate to Advanced", I'm intermediate and I learned most of that stuff when I was a beginner.

I bought a book titled PHP, MySQL and Apache. It appears to be written by Julie C. Meloni and is published by Sams Publishing. It appears to be very comprehensive and even includes a CD-ROM starter kit of some sort. It cost me about $44 at B&N.
I paged through it for a bit, then came running here looking for someone to do this stuff for me. I can't say that I've read the book, but buying one should count, right?

I didn't really learn PHP via books. I learnt Object Oriented Programming at university, we did all the C languages, VB and Java from there I just put the methodology into work and read through the PHP website and slowly got to know the API.
