Topics and Links:

Database Design and MySQL Online Resources:

  • SMU Library has some great electronic resources.  However, it is challenging to provide links because accessing them is different on campus than off campus.  So, I’m going to provide a reference to them.  You’ll have to search at smu.edu/cul to be able to download/access them.
    • Charles Bell. Expert MySQL, 2nd edition.  Apress, 2012.  Available through the SpringerLink collection.
    • Marc Rockhind. Expert PHP and MySQL: Application Design and Development. Apress, 2013. Available through the SpringerLink Collection.

PHP:

  • Slides – Set 1, Set 2, Set 3
  • Also see the books in the MySQL section above related to PHP.  There are quite a few other free resources (good books, not trash) available through the SMU Central University Library digital offerings.
  • Some references to peruse (these are IMHO, not blessed by any organization):
  • Another Books
