Using this book for my web programming class this fall. How is it? Have any of you read it? I should mention I don't anything about web development...how can I be better prepared for this class?
If you're going that route, learn HTML and CSS as well so you can at least get a grasp of the full stack.
Don't rely too heavily on phpMyAdmin when the time comes, its sort of a crutch when it comes to learning the PHP and MySQL combination.
As far as JavaScript goes, just try to have fun with it. Learn about click events and doing things with "window on load".

I've already taken a database class where we learned basic SQL and used a good bit of Oracle. Is MySQL anything like Oracle?
>>55623568
The answer to that question depends on how exactly you played with Oracle. Did you configure it?
The number if syntax differences is minute and sparse, however Oracle in general is more like an operating system in the configuration sense. There is a lot more "meat" to it, although the foundations of both are pretty similar (i.e.: the differences between GNU/Linux and Windows)

Didn't really do too much with it. Really basic stuff. Some PL/SQL. Mostly just playing around with a simple database.
