Web Database Application with PHP and MySQL, 2nd Edition
By David Lane, Hugh E. Williams

Publisher : O’Reilly
Pub Date : May 2004
ISBN : 0-596-00543-1
Pages : 816

Overview :

This new edition has been redesigned around the rich offerings of PEAR. Several of these, including the Template package and the

database-independent query API, are fully integrated into examples and thoroughly described in the text. In addition, through a

complex sample application–Hugh and Dave’s Wine Store–all the important techniques of dynamic content are introduced. Good

design is emphasized, such as dividing logic from presentation. The book introduces PHP 5 and MySQL 4.1 features, while

providing techniques that can be used on older versions of the software that are still in widespread use.

Title : Programming PHP
Pub Date : March 2002
Author : By Rasmus Lerdorf, Kevin Tatroe
Publisher: O’Reilly
ISBN : 1-56592-610-2
Overview :

Programming PHP is a comprehensive guide to PHP, a simple yet powerful language for creating dynamic web content. Filled with

the unique knowledge of the creator of PHP, Rasmus Lerdorf, this book is a detailed reference to the language and its

applications, including such topics as form processing, sessions, databases, XML, and graphics. Covers PHP 4, the latest version

of the language.

Now, more than ever, the Web is a major vehicle for corporate and personal communications. Web sites carry photo albums,

shopping carts, and product lists. Many of those web sites are driven by PHP, an open source scripting language primarily

designed for generating HTML content.

Since its inception in 1994, PHP has swept over the Web. The millions of web sites powered by PHP are testament to its

popularity and ease of use. It lies in the sweet spot between Perl/CGI, Active Server Pages (ASP), and HTML. Everyday people can

learn PHP and can build powerful dynamic web sites with it.

Title : Web Application Design Handbook : Best Practices for Web-Based Software
Pub Date : 2004
Author : Susan Fowler, Victor Stanwick
Publisher: Morgan Kauffman Publisher
ISBN : ISBN 1-55860-752-8
Overview :

The standards for usability and interaction design for Web sites and software are well known. While not everyone uses those
standards, or uses them correctly, there is a large body of knowledge, best practice, and proven results in those fields, and a
good education system for teaching professionals “how to.” For the newer field of Web application design, however, designers are
forced to reuse the old rules on a new platform. This book provides a roadmap that will allow readers to put complete working
applications on the Web, display the results of a process that is running elsewhere, and update a database on a remote server

using an Internet rather than a network connection.

Web Application Design Handbook describes the essential widgets and development tools that will the lead to the right design

solutions for your Web application. Written by designers who have made significant contributions to Web-based application

design, it delivers a thorough treatment of the subject for many different kinds of applications, and provides quick reference

for designers looking for some fast design solutions and opportunities to enhance the Web application experience. This book adds

flavor to the standard Web design genre by juxtaposing Web design with programming for the Web and covers design solutions and

concepts, such as intelligent generalization, to help software teams successfully switch from one interface to another.

Title : MySQL/PHP Database Applications, Second Edition
Pub Date : 2004
Author : Brad Bulger, Jay Greenspan, and David Wall
Publisher: Wiley Publishing, Inc
ISBN : ISBN: 0-7645-4963-4
Overview :

Welcome. If you are thumbing through these pages, you’re probably considering writing Web-based applications with PHP and MySQL. If you decide to go with these tools, you’ll be in excellent company. Thousands of developers—from total newbies to programmers with years of experience—are turning to PHP and MySQL for their Web-based projects, and for good reason.

Both PHP and MySQL are easy to use, fast, free, and powerful. If you want to get a dynamic Web site up quickly, there are no better choices. The PHP scripting language was built for the Web. All the tasks common to Web development can be performed in PHP with an absolute minimum of effort. Similarly, MySQL excels at tasks common to dynamic Web sites. Whether you’re creating a content-management system or an e-commerce application, MySQL is a great choice for your data storage.

Title : Seeing Data: Designing User Interfaces for Database Systems Using .NET
Pub Date : July 16, 2004
Author : Rebecca M. Riordan
Publisher: Addison Wesley Professional
ISBN : 0-321-20561-8
Pages : 544
Overview :

Nowadays, users and clients demand exceptionally usable software. But few developers are trained to create high-quality user

interfaces, and few .NET books offer much help—until now.

In Seeing Data , Microsoft MVP Rebecca M. Riordan shows how to use .NET’s advanced UI tools to build applications that reflect

today’s interface design best practices. She offers visual examples, code, and techniques for every .NET project.

Writing for experienced .NET developers, Riordan introduces core principles of effective interface design—including focus, flow,

alignment, proximity, contrast, and consistency. She demonstrates how to architect databases for better usability, and how to

build more effective form layouts. Next, she systematically tackles user interaction, showing how to:

-Help users navigate DataSets, manipulate data, and generate reports

-Utilize menus, toolbars, buttons, and Help systems

-Enforce data integrity

-Simplify installation and customization

Title : MySQL/PHP Database Applications
Pub Date : 2001
Author : Jay Greenspan and Brad Bulger
Publisher: M&T Books
ISBN : ISBN: 0-7645-3537-4
Overview :

SOON WE WILL HEAD OFF on a fabulous journey, a journey on which we will explore the ins and outs of MySQL and PHP database

applications in great detail. It’s going to be a fun trip; we just know it.

OK, maybe we’re being a bit optimistic. If you’re anything like us, there will be points when this particular journey will be a

lot more tedious than it is exciting. Let’s face facts: application development isn’t always the most exciting thing in the
world. And as with any other venture that involves programming, there are sure to be some very frustrating times, whether

because of a syntax error you can’t find or a piece of code that won’t do what you think it ought to do. But despite all that,
here you are, and I think there is a very good reason for your being here.

Web applications are the present and the future. No matter your background, whether it be Visual Basic or COBOL, or maybe you

know just some HTML and JavaScript, your résumé is only going to improve with some Web applications development experience.

We don’t think there’s a better combination of tools to have under your belt than PHP and MySQL. The numbers bear us out. PHP

and MySQL are becoming increasingly popular, and the demand for people who can use these tools will only increase.

Title : Beginning Visual Basic®2005 Databases
Pub Date : 2006
Author : Thearon Willis
Publisher: Wiley Publishing
ISBN : 0-7645-8894-X
Overview :

This book teaches Visual Basic 2005 developers the concepts and skills necessary to write VB 2005 database applications that can be used throughout their enterprises. Although the book touches on database design concepts, its focus is on using ADO.NET to access and manipulate data in relational databases. This book covers all data providers in ADO.NET briefly, but focuses on using the OleDb Data Provider for accessing Access databases, the SQL Data Provider for accessing SQL Server databases, and the Oracle Data Provider for accessing Oracle databases. Most of the examples in this book involve writing database applications for SQL Server and Oracle.

You will learn how to use queries, views, and stored procedures to efficiently access and manipulate data from your applications. I provide examples and instruction on accessing data from Windows applications, ASP.NET applications, and Web Services. You’ll also be exposed to more advanced concepts, such as writing business logic components and data access components, as well as how to read and write data from the Windows Registry. You will also learn how to encrypt and decrypt data using the .NET encryption classes and how to hash passwords to further secure your access to your data.
