Chapter 1 - part 1

I read about 1/3 of chapter 1. This book have a lot of diagrams and charts which makes the concept easier to understand. I really enjoy reading the book.

Concepts I learned so far:
-PHP is contained and run on the server
-PHP makes the website more interactive
-files extension of PHP files is .php
-PHP originally stood for Personal Home Pages
-PHP file has to be link to the html file

Book Selection

I used Barnes and Noble and Borders online websites to help me select a book. After reading a couple of reviews and researching online about a few book, I decided to go with Head First - PHP & MySQL.

I brought the book at Borders since I did not want to order and wait for it to come in. The book gives plenty of examples and explanations of every concept, so it is easy to follow.
