    Book Description
We've packed six of our best-selling Web Programming guides onto this CD-ROM, giving you 4,668 pages of O'Reilly references and tutorials -- fully searchable and cross-referenced, so you can search either the individual index for each book or the master index for the entire collection. Included are the complete, unabridged versions of these popular titles:

• Dynamic HTML: The Definitive Reference, 2nd Edition
• JavaScript: The Definitive Guide, 4th Edition
• Programming PHP
• Web Database Applications with PHP & MySQL
• PHP Cookbook
• Webmaster In a Nutshell, 3rd Edition

As a bonus, you also get the new paperback version of Webmaster In a Nutshell, 3rd Edition. This collection of Web programming books is bursting with premium information: JavaScript: The Definitive Guide, 4th Edition is considered "the" JavaScript book; nobody can touch the level of detail Danny Goodman explores in Dynamic HTML: The Definitive Reference, 2nd Edition; and Programming PHP is by Rasmus Lerdorf, the creator of PHP. To boot, you get three other excellent titles. The total list price for this collection if purchased separately is $264.70. Formatted in HTML, The Web Programming CD Bookshelf, version 1.0, can be accessed with any web browser, so you have a complete library of technical books that you can carry with you anywhere you need it. No other resource makes so much valuable information so easy to find and so convenient to use./p>
Reviews From AMAZON.COM
index works but search does not
It has a lot of content, but buyer beware, there are compatibility problems with the search engine and browser, specifically from the CD:This search engine works with most Java-enabled browsers supporting version Java 1.1.2 or later. It has problems running with Mozilla 0.9 and 1.0 and Netscape 7 on Mac OS 9...Well Mozilla essentially means all of the new Netscape releases also (since its Mozilla based). I don't know what Microsoft-only planet the idiots who wrote the search engine came from, but given the material they should have considered that a bulk of the user base is on Unix and Linux, and DOES NOT USE MS BROWSERS. They should have advertised this fact before hand.
Web Development in a Nutshell
I have to admit; I love direct, hard hitting, honesty.The authors of one of the six books contained in this series say it all when they introduce their book with this comment:"This book is by impatient writers for impatient readers, so don't expect much history or analysis here, just a basic tour of how everything fits together."I cannot improve on that. Long after you pass your certification exams and place those trophy books on the shelf to collect dust, this collection will sit dog-eared at your work station.
