Given that today is St. Patrick's Day here in Ireland I'll try to avoid any more potatoe references.... Learning PHP is designed to quickly get you up and running in your efforts to develop with PHP. Probably a redundant statement there but it's been said now so let's get on with it.

The authors of this Software Requirements, Third Edition have clearly felt this pain too and have sought to minimise the amount of painful lessons learned by following good methodologies, learning from mistakes and learning how to work with the customer and all relevant stakeholders.
