Customer Reviews

  • I am enlightened...
    I have been an embedded software engineer since the early '80, my staples are c, c++, and assembler. This stuff was all magic to me.
  • PHP with MYSQL Essential Training
    Kevin Skogland does a fantastic job laying out the foundation in working with PHP and MYSQL to build dynamic web sites. The videos are clear; the audio is in excellent tone and rhythm for learning.
  • Great tutorials, but better prices elsewhere
    I'm very happy with this training video, and it walks the user through the basic php codes including working with variables, loops, conditions, etc. The one thing I will say, is that if I had known that Lynda.com had a subscription based membership I would have gotten it there.
