Summary: Saved my you-know-what
Comment: I committed to doing a MySQL project because it was less expensive overall for my client than using software I'm more familiar with (I'm not naming names but let's just call them SQL Server and .Net). I'm very experienced creating databases but brand new to MySQL and PHP. I don't know how I would have survived without Kofler's book. He not only explains everything step-by-step but in a very relevant, clear way. I had several other books in my arsenal and found I dropped all of them when I needed to look something up and just used Kofler all the way. Everything I needed to do, he had an example for in his demo files!
I know from experience how frustrating it can be not to have the right resources available. Although there are some great user's groups and so on, Kofler's book saved me a ton of time because I found pretty much everything in his book. Using his book and the free, on-line PDF MySQL manual is all you'll need to do a complex business application for the web.
Thanks Kofler. You're my hero!

Summary: Very clear! Best book I found on MySQL
Comment: This book covers both UNIX/LINUX and Windows for almost every topic - I really like that especially since we run a mixed environment and I'm wanting to learn more LINUX.
I'm a Windows user who needed to setup MySQL that was required by a free message board [;ocal website]). This book made the MySQL portion of the install extremely easy and covered all of the topics I needed to know to setup MySQL in a Windows environment. He covered all the "gotchas" with both Windows and UNIX/LINUX platforms - nice! It also covers setting up and interfacign with PHP, Apache and other system "components" - which really helped me to deploy my message board project.
I enjoyed his writing style so much, I found myself reading the book front to back, versus looking up specific topics - that doesn't happen very often with these types of technical books.
The information is up to date, even though it's over a year old. I checked out the top 3 MySQL books out there and this one was my favorite for getting started clear through advanced usage - there is not a lot of "fluff" - just a clear writing style hitting all the topics.
