Review: The best programming language instruction/book in the world - Jon Duckett, thank you so much for writing the book that will change my life. I waited three years for you to publish it, and I am going to feast on every word on the next 672 pages (thank you so much for taking your time to write it well). I loved my early read of this book so much that I had to buy two more copies for my mentees. I bought and read your last two second-to-none books in 2016 - HTML & CSS and JS & jQuery. I can't wait to make history with this PHP book. I am on page 170, and I can say for a fact that you covered the topics in way more detail and simplicity than the other bestselling PHP book on desertcart that I have used as a PHP programmer over the last three years. Instead of Jon dedicating about three hundred pages to PHP and MySQL like the last guy (I won't name him as a quick PHP search on desertcart would reveal him), he wisely and courageously dedicated almost 700 pages. I have also bought and taken seven of the best PHP courses on Udemy, and I know this book is better than all of them combined. This is not only the best PHP and MySQL book out there, this is the best programming book in the world. Period. Take that from someone who has spent thousands of dollars in the last 6 years trying to look for a programming language instruction that is expertly written from an education standpoint. Albert Einstein once said, “If you can't explain it to a six-year-old, you don't understand it yourself.” Ninety-nine percent of the programming language boot camps, books, training manuals, and websites cannot explain what they teach to six-year-olds. They do not meet the KISS (keep it simple, stupid) test necessary for educators. A six-year-old can understand what Jon is teaching in this book. I spent over $100,000 on a business school education in Baltimore, and this is the best textbook I have ever read. There is a dearth of educators in the programming education world. You hardly have anyone with an education degree teaching programming, which becomes apparent in the lack of standardization in what they teach. Jon's PHP book is heavily researched and detailed, unbelievably simple, and wonderfully designed. Do yourself a favor and read what this man who shies away from publicity has thoughtfully, generously, and meticulously written. Review: PLEASE HELP ME!!! - This appears to be a wonderful book. I went to college and learned all of this but never used it. This book makes it all seem easy to relearn. Well, most of it easy to relearn. I have spent DAYS trying to figure out how to see the programs printed out on the computer. I am not this intelligent. Page 21 says to enter localhost followed by the path from the htdocs folder to where I stored the program. NOTHING SEEMS TO WORK!!! Can some brilliant person tell me what I am doing wrong. Not only that the address that the book tells you to type in does not show me the WELCOME web server sign. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,347,359 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1 in PHP Programming #6 in MySQL Guides #14 in SQL | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 723 Reviews | ## Images ![PHP & MySQL: Server-side Web Development - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61b2v8YFeLL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best programming language instruction/book in the world *by T***O on April 13, 2022* Jon Duckett, thank you so much for writing the book that will change my life.

I went to college and learned all of this but never used it. This book makes it all seem easy to relearn. Well, most of it easy to relearn. I have spent DAYS trying to figure out how to see the programs printed out on the computer. I am not this intelligent.

Pros: - Information compression: What would otherwise take large volumes of text is distilled into rich graphics. This is accomplished through code "anatomy" diagrams, well laid out tables, and pages with clear visual hierarchy and clean layouts. It does all of this while still using large font - which is crucial for me. - Organization of content: The book can used either as reference or read through completely. There are minimal dependencies on upcoming content when reading through. Contextual information is clearly given in section introductions. - Pruning of content: The book covers all of the major use cases I'd expect to be in an intro level book for back end PHP programming, and as added sugar imparts enough database connection and SQL knowledge to allow for database exercises. Advanced content is isolated to the back of the book. - Example code: great library to explore and practice with. - Price: as currently priced, this is a steal - especially for print. Cons: - I tried to think of some constructive criticism, but I can't come up with anything offhand. It's a great book and I'm glad I found it to teach with. ## Frequently Bought Together - PHP & MySQL: Server-side Web Development - JavaScript & jQuery: Interactive Front-End Web Development - HTML and CSS: Design and Build Websites --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.de/products/99706468-php-and-mysql-server-side-web-development](https://www.desertcart.de/products/99706468-php-and-mysql-server-side-web-development) --- *Product available on Desertcart Germany* *Store origin: DE* *Last updated: 2026-05-21*
