CodeIgniter for Rapid PHP Application Development (Sep 10 2008 00:45 GMT)
Title CodeIgniter for Rapid PHP Application Development Reviewer Alexandre Altair de Melo Category PHP books Publisher Packt Publishing Author David Upton Summary This book is not a documentation of framework. It is rather a guide of what we can do with CodeIgniter. The book is very useful because it describes not only the framework but also good tips on how to work with PHP. The concepts on how to develop systems for the enterprise with CodeIgniter are also explained. A word that I would use to describe this book is that it is a map, because you learn about a light and powerful framework and also see how powerful PHP has become.

Delphi for PHP 2.0 (Jul 23 2008 00:09 GMT)
Title Delphi for PHP 2.0 Reviewer Manuel Lemos Category Development tools Publisher CodeGear Summary Overall, Delphi for PHP 2 is great update to first version released last year. If you were already using it version 1, this version is well worth the upgrade. If you were not using Delphi for PHP because you did not know it before, or because of the misconceptions mentioned in the beginning of this review, you may want to give it a better look, as it provides many features that can significantly enhance your PHP development productivity. If you were not considering using Delphi for PHP 2 because you were not aware that it can now run on Linux or Mac OS X, now you may want to reconsider, as the latest versions of Wine finally made that possible.

Building powerful and robust websites with Drupal 6 (Jul 13 2008 19:03 GMT)
Title Building powerful and robust websites with Drupal 6 Reviewer Zoltan Hunt Category PHP books Publisher Packt Author David Mercer Summary With the exception of chapter seven, I did not find too much in Drupal that was too complicated to follow. The book is quite easy to read, but I hoped there might have been more coverage of theming. There are a lot of Web sites out there that scream "Drupal!"
