I was once a Stupid Sumo.

You see,

I first learned to design websites, and could only make static websites.

This means I could add links, images, some text...but I couldn't make the site DO anything cool.

If I wanted to do something as simple as store a user's email address...I had to use third-party services...all because I was a Stupid Sumo.

Fast forward a little and I learned how to make database-driven sites.

I was now entering Smart Sumo territory!

You see,

Now I could make my websites FUNCTION.

I could make them STORE INFORMATION.

I could then USE that information and make it OUTPUT different information.

Being able to store, modify and output information is what will take someone from a "designer" to a "pay-me-lots-of-money-because-I'm-a-developer!"

That's why today I'm presenting (in its full Sumo glory) a book called:

"Build Your Own Database Driven Web Site Using PHP & MySQL"

(4th Edition)

That title is well...pretty damn self-explanatory!

When you start on this book, you might be a database-virgin.

By the time it's done with you, you'll have "been around the database block" if ya know watta mean ;-)

In fact, here's exactly what you'll be learning:

Install PHP 5 & MySQL 5 on Windows, Linux, or Mac OS X
Gain a thorough understanding of PHP syntax
Master database design principles and SQL
Build a working content management system (CMS)
Add, edit, and delete web content without using HTML
Build an eCommerce shopping cart
Utilize sessions and cookies to track site visitors
Make SEO-friendly and memorable URLs
...more stuff we can't list here

Not a bad skill set to learn eh??

This eBook is a Sumo-sized 470+ pages...BUT DON'T LET THAT SCARE YOU because...

...since this is a tutorial eBook, it contains TONS of screenshots and code blocks to make sure you can follow along without getting lost.

And seriously...don't worry about the quality, because it's from SitePoint (one of the largest developer portals EVER), so you know it's top-notch (and also 100% guaranteed or all your money back).

Oh...did you also know we've got this Database eBook on sale for a LIMITED TIME ONLY AT 36% OFF??
