I’d like to say it never rains but it pours, but that would be entirely the wrong sentiment, I need something more like good things come to those who wait…
Anyway after an epic wait a flurry of CakePHP books have arrived.
I haven’t read any of these books yet, but I from personal experience I would say the Apress books are bound to be good. I have no idea what the books from Packt are like. I have one Manning book which is good but is unfortunately a PDF (and I hate reading PDFs).
That is quite a collection of complete and utter nonsense. Well, it’s not really nonsense; but everytime I’m delving into writing PHP, I have speculating moments where I can see myself typing all of these random characters, and I think “what the fuck am I doing!?”, and then I carry on.
That’s alright, that’s how I feel about Python – but I know that one day soon it will all make sense. But persevere – it’s worth it.
This is the book I learned with MySQL/PHP Database Applications (M&T Books)
– it is a bit old, but it is well worth a look.
