Cuts to the Chase

This book offers a great approach to teaching PHP. It is very task-oriented, and it highlights development areas where the technology is most useful. As an experienced developer, I was able to rapidly evaluate the usefulness of the tool for particular needs and not waste time trying applications that were not worthwhile.
