Commenting on the book, SitePoint Co-founder and CEO, Mark Harbottle said, "MySQL and PHP are now the most widely used online database and scripting technologies. Learning and mastering these technologies is fast becoming essential for all Web Developers. Most books on the topic are academic and dry, and we saw a need for a practical approach that was written for use in the real world, not a perfect world."

Author Kevin Yank is no stranger to boring technology resources, and says the book leverages his own experience. "I know what it's like to try to learn new technologies," he explained. "Often the resources are written from a very academic, highly technical viewpoint. But as a Web Developer you don't want to study every minute detail of the technology - you simply want to know what you need in order to build what you want, fast."

"This book doesn't spend three hundred pages discussing the basic language elements of PHP -- that's what the excellent documentation at PHP.net is there for. Instead it guides readers through what they need to understand in order to get a useful system up and running quickly, and to adapt it to suit their own unique purposes."

Build Your Own Database Driven Website Using PHP & MySQL is only available from the SitePoint Website for US$34.95. It also comes with electronic access to all PHP and MySQL code samples used throughout the book.
