Estos últimos días he estado enfrascado en la lectura de un libro que la empresa PacktPub ha tenido la deferencia de hacerme llegar para darles mi opinión.
La verdad es que aparte de instalar MariaDB como un sustituto de MySQL y utilizarlo como tal dentro de PHP no había tenido la oportunidad de acercarme tanto y tan a fondo a esta base de datos y como gestionarla desde PHP.
Para mí un libro imprescindible, donde se tratan los pormenores de la conexión y la sentencias que nos permiten todo tipo de gestiones sobre las tablas de la bbdd. Con ejemplos variados y muy buen documentados, tratando tanto desde la versión más extendida actualmente de PHP, la 5.3 como las diferencias con las versiones posteriores. Para mí muy buen acercamiento éste tocando las diferencias con versiones más modernas, que harán sin duda que este libro no quede desactualizado inmediatamente tal y como suele ocurrir con prácticamente todas las publicaciones informáticas más punteras.
El PDF increible de leer, en cuanto a su calidad, aunque tengo que decir que no soy un fanático de los libros electrónicos, al menos no para este tipo de publicaciones, tengo que reconocer que el PDF tiene un aspecto excelente y su lectura se hace amena en un ordenador portátil o en una tablet. No puedo decir lo mismo del formato epub que me hicieron llegar, ya que en un móvil de 6.4”, si, no exagero, me ha resultado farragoso leerlo y tener una experiencia de lectura adecuada, sobre todo en las partes en las que se presenta código fuente de ejemplo.
Desde mi punto de vista de autor, tengo que reconocer el mérito de presentación del PDF, y me imagino de su presentación impresa, pero he de decir que el epub deja bastante que desear.
En todo caso, un libro más que recomendable para los que se quieran iniciar en la gestión de bases de datos desde PHP o, para los que ya lo hacemos, ponernos al día con todos los pormenores que de seguro no conocíamos.
Los que os decidáis a comprar el libro aquí tenéis un link, espero vuestros comentarios al respecto para ver si coincidimos.

MariaDB & PHP
This last days I had been very busy reading the book "Building a Web Application with PHP and MariaDB: A Reference Guide" that the company PacktPub gave me in order to evaluate and write an article giving my opinion.
To be honest, I normally install MariaDB or MySQL as a database motor and I use it from PHP, but I never have had the oportunity to be so close of this database and how to handle it from PHP.
For me an essential book, where deals with all the details about connection and the sentences that allow us all kind of handle over the tables of the database. With variety of samples and very well documented, dealing with the current version of PHP most extended, the 5.3, and mentioning the differences between more modern version of PHP. For me a very good approach dealing with all the versions, and making this book an updated book of this subject, preventing the obsolescence that occurs with this kind of publications.
The PDF is amazing to read, in terms of its quality, however, I have to say that I’m not a fanatic of ebooks, no for this kind of technical publications, I prefer always a physical book. But I have to recognize that the PDF has a excellent aspect and its reading is confortable on(in) a laptop or on(in) a tablet.
I can’t say the same to the epub format that I’ve had access to. On a very big mobilphone (with a screen of 6.4 inches) I've had very troubles with the reading of the source code parts.
From my own point of view, as an author, I have to recognize the quality of PDF, and I imagine that the printed book should be better. But epub leaves much to be desired
Anyway, a book very recomendable for people that want to start in the mariadb+php, o for who already are working with this tandem, stay updated with all the details that I’m sure we don’t knows in the whole totality.
If you want to purchase this publication you can go to here http://bit.ly/1qrqMQx (http://bit.ly/1qrqMQx). Also in these places:
I’m looking forward to receiving your comments, in order to see if our opinions coincide.
