Most books on creative applications describe how to use tools and make some reference to putting those tools into a real-world context. "PHP and MySQL @work: Projects and Techniques to Get the Job Done" breaks out of that mold by introducing key tools in a single chapter and then moving on to what you really want to know: how to complete projects. This book provides step-by-step coverage of how to complete a variety of projects that a panel of users who regularly use the application have verified as the most common projects. Tips, tricks, and notes will provide you with the information you need to carry over what you learn on these projects to others, you'll undoubtedly be asked to create, making this the ultimate desk reference for PHP and MySQL users.
