Technical Reviewer Comment
Just wanted to drop you a note and tell you what a pleasure it was doing the tech review on your new book. You made my job pretty easy, code testing went well on Linux and Windows platforms, especially when I had them set up correctly!
I did want to personally say that the chapter on Advanced Object Oriented Programming is probably the best 40 or so pages I have ever read on the subject. Your descriptions and explanations on what can be a difficult thing to explain were spot on and should be read by every novice and intermediate programmer. I have been programming for years and have never explained these concepts with that much clarity. As soon as the book hits the stands I will be buying copies for every developer on my staff.

Proofreader Comments
I loved the chapter, I, being well-knowledgeable in PHP, learned lots from the first chapter! I couldn’t find any grammerical or coding errors (I really looked….).
I just finished reading Ch. 3, and it’s amazing.

I’ve completed my review of chapter 11 of your forthcoming book. Can I just say, even though I have only seen a small sample of your new book, I am very impressed, and am pleased to see you have maintained your accessible writing style. I really can not wait to go through the finished product from cover to cover.
- Callum D.
Congratulations on this great book!
I want to mention it here and some other places as well that I am sure this book is going to give your readers another pleasant surprise. I still did not see the whole book and I can hardly wait for my copy to arrive, but the chapter 7 – one on OOP – is absolutely fabulous! Efforts made to make invaluable information available in this chapter are visible and people will surely appreciate it. The price is also great and I believe and I hope the book will become another bestseller.

Reader Comments
I’ve studied more than a few books on object-oriented PHP and PHP5 Advanced was the only book where my effort was rewarded in the end with competence. I think the key differentiating factor was that each chapter provided SIMPLE examples that illustrated the main point of chapter. Thanks.

Many thanks for another outstanding book on PHP!
- Jerry N.
Excellent books. Like many of your readers, I eagerly await publication of the second edition of PHP Advanced.
Thanks for writing such useful books.
