In this update to this popular hands-on guide, youâ??ll tackle dynamic web programming with the latest versions of todayâ??s core technologies: PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, CSS, HTML5, and key jQuery libraries. Web designers will learn how to use these technologies together and pick up valuable web programming practices along the wayâ??including how to optimize websites for mobile devices. At the end of the book, youâ??ll put everything together to build a fully functional social networking site suitable for both desktop and mobile browsers. Explore MySQL, from database structure to complex queries Use the MySQLi extension, PHPâ??s improved MySQL interface Create dynamic PHP web pages that tailor themselves to the user Manage cookies and sessions and maintain a high level of security Enhance the JavaScript language with jQuery and jQuery mobile libraries Use Ajax calls for background browser-server communication Style your web pages by acquiring CSS2 and CSS3 skills Implement HTML5 features, including geolocation, audio, video, and the canvas element Reformat your websites into mobile web apps Review: Provisional 5 Stars - As a hobbyist programmer and aspiring professional, I give this book a provisional 5 stars. 1 year ago, knew nothing about programming. Absolutely nothing. I then began my membership at teamtreehouse.com and have been using faithfully since then for anywhere between 2-5 hours a day. I am now conversational in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, and SQL and can use each with intermediate proficiency. All of that before reading this book. Note first of all that every learning environment has its positives and negatives. Many will read this book and think it's the greatest of all time. Others will not. As well, books like this become obsolete virtually upon publication. That does not render all of its contents useless or out of date. The edition I read was revised in May 2018, so it was as up to date as can be expected. REVIEW: The book touches virtually everything you need to begin creating web pages. Front-end (client-side) programming and back-end (server side) programming are covered in enough detail and with enough examples for you to be able at least to copy the examples, understand them, and reproduce them on your own machine. The book begins with PHP fundamentals. If you have previous programming knowledge (of any true programming language), this part will be quite rudimentary (the same goes when you make it to JavaScript). Then the author transitions to MySQL and how PHP interacts with databases. From the beginning the author supposes that you are going to follow along as a means of internalizing the material. If you are already familiar with the material and are just strengthening your foundation, there is probably no reason for you to do every example. I only did one or two examples the book. The end of the book covers front-end development (JavaScript, HTML5, and CSS3). Along with these, the author includes jQuery and jQuery mobile. Because so many tools are taught in this book, each one is necessarily limited in its scope. However, each topic is covered with a surprising amount of detail and clarity. After doing PHP at teamtreehouse.com, I knew the basics of the language but was more confused than ever on how to apply this knowledge to building an actual program. This book helped me to get the wheels turning and build a web app that handles and manipulates databases, handles login credentials, and displays data to a webpage. It helped me solidify what I had learned. The fundaments were repetitive, yes. But the examples and explanations went far beyond what I had previously learned. READ THIS CAREFULLY: You will not master any web language after reading this book. You will not get a web dev job simply because you read this book. You will not be able to design a web ready application after reading this book. ALSO READ THIS CAREFULLY: You will definitely have the skills you need to progress to the next level and *begin* writing simple web apps. You will know the fundamental of handling data, you'll be able to use JavaScript to manipulate web pages, and you'll be able to style pages according to your liking. A WORD OF ADVICE: If you're new to web and web design, start in the back with HTML and CSS. Learn to build static pages with simple designs before you attempt JavaScript and PHP. All in all , this book is not for everyone, but if you use it well, it can be a great resource. Review: Complete Requirements for PHP and MySQL - With 3 less pages than 800, the author carefully instructs his readers in perhaps one of the most thorough manners I have ever seen in a software how-to-book. I had MYSql connected and inserted values in simply the time it took to write the code with the book open in y lap (my database was already up on my server). Now that I have code templates, I am ready for show time. For me, the book is extremely clear and provides massive amounts of information in a genuinely logical step-by-step navigation through the subject matter. All the code for this jewel is up on GitHub for those who are as lazy as I am when it comes to typing code without a code generator. This will become my primary reference for PHP and SQL. I haven't checked out the JavaScript portion, but am looking forward to implementing it in my PHP. I hope those who are new to PHP and who have reasons to leave or not use ASP will purchase this book, as this sort of text makes it fun to learn a language, which will instill more respect for it. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,314,571 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #80 in PHP Programming #408 in JavaScript Programming (Books) #1,406 in Introductory & Beginning Programming | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 534 Reviews | ## Images ![Learning PHP, MySQL & JavaScript: With jQuery, CSS & HTML5 (Learning PHP, MYSQL, Javascript, CSS & HTML5) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91lbebRlqgL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Provisional 5 Stars *by J***E on September 7, 2018* As a hobbyist programmer and aspiring professional, I give this book a provisional 5 stars. 1 year ago, knew nothing about programming.

A Great Book for the Beginning Programmer! *by M***E on August 4, 2020* I'm just starting out with programming. I'm not stupid, but most programming books made me *feel* stupid. Not this one. This book assumes you know *nothing* about programming. You will benefit more if you know at least a little HTML and CSS (I did). It ties together a lot of basic programming concepts that I had seen in passing but not really understood. This book, although invaluable to me, will probably be beneath a person who already knows how to program. If that is the case, jump directly to a book that focuses solely on the language you want to learn. If you're like me, dig in and watch all those concepts come together. It's very exciting! It's like the first time I learned HTML... ## Frequently Bought Together - Learning PHP, MySQL & JavaScript: With jQuery, CSS & HTML5 - Internet Technologies and Information Services (Library and Information Science Text Series) --- ## 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.hk/products/65747781-learning-php-mysql-and-javascript-with-jquery-css-and-html5](https://www.desertcart.hk/products/65747781-learning-php-mysql-and-javascript-with-jquery-css-and-html5) --- *Product available on Desertcart Hong Kong* *Store origin: HK* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
