Hugh and Dave's online stores

Examples of stores throughout the book provide a practical and logical way to create Web applications. for an experienced user, this book can be used as a review course, this includes security issues, optimization, and data structures. If you haven't been familiar with Web development for a while, quick reading can quickly restore you. The readers who can get the greatest benefit from this content are still new developers or new users who are new to the Web environment.

The design of this book is logical and can simplify the learning process. The first three chapters in the book provide simple but sufficient information about HTTP and database concepts, such as PHP and MySQL. Chapter 5 to Chapter 9 is the subject of this book-concepts and practices of database query and user processing. The last chapter uses the store as a case study, which involves more details and focuses on the skills of the application software provided in the previous chapters.

The appendix of this book also provides excellent supplementary information, not just resource or syntactic schedules, you will see guidance on getting and installing all the content you need when running the instance, including the shop content code, additional information about databases and Web protocols extends the topic of this book.

The example of a store runs through the entire book. every single-instance application built on the basis of a new concept can be developed based on it. The book explains why many coding warnings have their own value and how each piece of information affects the application software in general. If you have wondered why the user processes or data structures are created in this way, the store instance provides a basic concept to help you understand.

Although MySQL discussions in the book can be transplanted to other database systems, application software instances do not avoid using PHP. In the book, the author adheres to the content and related concepts of his main concern, and also pays attention to the practices that should be adopted. they are widely applied to three-layer Web platforms.

Even if you make an experienced programmer, this step-by-step wizard can also be used as a method to evaluate some of the content you take for granted. if you have never touched on this topic, this book is not only a useful guide, but also provides resources on how to handle each centralized topic.

Perhaps the most valuable aspect of this book is that it leads you to gradually create your first database application software. Order processing for online stores is not involved, but we have talked about setting up an infrastructure to support such a system. Although this store is not a sound application software, as a first attempt, it also plays a role: to show people why things run.

Introduction to new developers

Experienced programmers do not need to buy a book, but with this book, they may find the value of this book in verifying their own capabilities and defects. On the other hand, this book is a good guide for beginners. PHP is a language that is easy to learn, and its similar syntax does not impede the concept given. The description in the book allows you to read from the beginning and end, and then use it as a reference guide.
