Rating: - Another brilliant book by David Powers!!!
I had already purchased David's "PHP for dreamweaver 8" book which I had found extremely good and useful. David's new book EGDWCS3 is absolutely brilliant. David carefully guides you through simple practical examples using PHP, MYSQL and Dreamweaver CS3 which eventually culminates in fully working solutions to the most common requirements when developing dynamic websites. As if the book isn't good enough - David is a daily visitor to the Friendofed forum and will happily answer any queries you have on the book in a very friendly way.

This book is superb - buy it now - you won't be disappointed!
