I think its necessary to write a review in retrospect to the last comment posted about this book. Yes, this is true that when working with Xampp or MAMP there may be some issues. However every system is different, and it is not possible to list a setup for every system, or the book would cost way more then 30 dollars. There are port issues with MAMP, and sometimes XAMPP and this has to do with the default ports different for windows and mac, you can look them up on the web and will also find hundreds of solutions. The book in itself I think is more about php then setting up a server. It's nice though that it was included, however I personally did not require it myself. If your a reader looking to read about how to setup xammp or mamp, or any of the other many server programs out there, perhaps you should look for a book called learning XAMPP or MAMP or debian, anyways. Good book, simple to read, the examples are easy to follow, and not too complicated. THank you
PS. excuse any errors, I lack in time.
