Here guys, take a look: http://www.visibone.com/products/browserbook.html

What do you think of it?

I am considering of buying it. It looks highly useful.
What's you opinion?

Yeah it could be useful... I'd need a proper look first. The wall charts they make are supposed to be excellent.... which makes me think I should put one on the wall in my office to brighten things up :P

I have a copy I throw into my computer bag so it is always with me. It is a very good resource, I highly recommend it :)

Looks helpful, but not for $35. Maybe if it were $10-$15.

It's not like the information will last forever, either. *shrugs*

Completly different goals between those two. One is a book with a goal of teaching about PHP, the other is a handy set of quick references for various web development technologies.

I think maybe he's referring to having limited funds to spend on this decision...:)

The handiest resource is still the PHP manual...;)

Well, considering that it's only online, and sometimes when you're out you don't have an access to an internet connected computer, a book is a valueable thing.
Besides, I've heard a lot of good reviews and recomendation on this book, so I'm thinking whether it's worth of buying.
