Reader Reviews
I don't usually write negative reviews, because usually there are plenty of reviews already there if a book isn't being well-received. In this case, though, because it's new and because I'm having to spend a lot of money to find the "right" book on this topic, I thought I'd try to save others the expense. Save your money here. I stopped reading this book halfway through when I kept having to refer back to the "User's Guide" doc that comes with ZSE (which also has color figures making it easier to recognize the text descriptions). I would have given this book at least two stars for including a sample app (which the Zend user guide does not), but the app doesn't work! Even after correcting several typos in the sample app's code, you still get a fatal error (which I suspect has to do with a missing include path, but I shouldn't have to troubleshoot book code).
