I have been reading this book on Safari and have found enough errors in it to say that it is more frustrating than helpful. The Apache, PHP, and MySQL installation instructions are extremely flawed. The PHP installation instructions in particular are very frustrating. The sentence immediately before 8.2.3 speaks of the importance of creating tables and says it's where the book is headed. Then the first sentence of 8.2.3 starts with "Once you've created a table..." This was beyond frustrating. Simply put I do not believe this book was adequately proofread by a technical editor, and it does not live up to O'Reilly's typically high standards. |
