Book Title: Building a Web Application with PHP and MariaDB: A Reference GuideI got a copy of this book and took some solid time to go through this book. The IT infrastructures are fast-evolving to be cloud-enabled, software-defined, orchestrated, optimized, shared, and automated through the seamless and sagacious incorporation of highly competent technologies. However the application development, deployment and delivery complexities on the modern infrastructures are on the climb. That is, designing and developing multi-tier and enterprise-class web applications from the ground up is not an easy task due to various internal as well as external reasons. Therefore through the smart leverage of potential and promising technologies and tools, how to simplify and streamline web application implementation is therefore acquiring a lot of attention. In this book, the author has tried to explain the various capabilities of PHP and MariaDB technologies in collaboratively building futuristic web applications. He had started with a detailed erudition of both PHP and MariaDB. Thereafter he had focused on the non-functional aspects (such as security, scalability, etc.) of web applications.The first chapter is all about the CRUD Operations, Sorting, Filtering, and Joins and the second chapter illustrates how MariaDB facilitates advanced programming. The third chapter is allocated for explaining the nitty-gritty of PHP language for constructing modern applications. Then the author has jumped into a practical application development. The chapter 4 elucidates on setting up a student portal in order to expose how PHP and MariaDB works together in bringing up highly complex web applications such as portals, etc. Thereafter he has described how the security aspect of web application is being tackled. Caching has been an important ingredient in any web application and the chapter 7 is fully allotted for lighting up the vague cache technique. The chapter 8 introduces the readers to the concept of REST architecture, followed by building a REST API for our student portal. The chapter 9 deals with an introduction to the different security optimizations that can be performed for Apache, MariaDB, and PHP to secure the web application. Performance is an indispensable phenomenon for any web application and the author has taken pains in order to explain it very deeply and decisively. The chapter 10 describes the introduction of different performance optimization techniques that can be used to scale the application more effectively.I am sure that this book is a must for any web application developers, application managed services professionals and performance consultants. Further on, due to its extreme simplicity, project leaders and managers can benefit immensely through this well-written, easy-to-grasp and use book.

This is a reference guide, developers with knowledge of PHP, MariaDB (and/or MySQL) should get this book as a desktop guide and also for refreshing their knowledge, since a lot of things have been added to PHP 5+ and MariaDB, so syntax and best practices is what developers could learn from this book. For example, there is a new short array declaration in PHP 5.4 which allows squre brackets to be used to declare arrays. $arr2 = [1,2,3,4];This is something I learned from the book as well. Chapter 3 of the book has more. I will not reveal it all :)Chapter 4 gives a practical approach to building a PHP, MariaDB MVC application (Yes but don’t use it to build another Laravel clone please !! )Chapter 8 is interesting, it covers REST API and XML Feeds, something Web and Mobile developers would love.Overall the book is a great package for a LAMP guy/gal, but I feel for a reference guide there needs to be more content. But nevertheless a must have for PHP, MariaDB developers, this book certainly teaches you a few new tricks.
