Excelent for the Mobile Dev.

Its a great book for those who initiate on the mobile developement. It gives a nice start for building WAP pages for the mobile industry. We work as the head of a mobile aggregator/integrator and we use this when we begin in the bussiness.

Good starter book

This was a great book. I started off knowing nothing of PHP, WML, and mySQL and ended up on the path to enlightenment. It gave a great how to tie everything together approach. I didn't learn all my PHP from it, but it gave me the basics and the tools to move on into the more advanced stuff.

Two for One Deal

This book is a great deal, not only do you learn about wireless web development, you also get to learn PHP which for those who don't know is an excelent open source language for developing rich web sites. It also touches on the basics of using MySQL for the backend. Full of excelent examples that get expanded as you go.
