Finding a Good Book

For the past couple of years, I’ve been wanting to learn PHP. I’ve taught myself HTML and CSS with some really good books and now it’s time to find a good PHP one – one that I can follow and that is in the right price range.

I’m still playing around with it a bit anyway and understand a few bits and pieces – enough to tweak phpnuke and phpbb but not enough to create my own modules or write my own programming.

I really do enjoy creating webpages/sites and would just like to keep up.

Book Blog

I've decided to create a Book Blog - a separate blog where I'll talk mostly about what I'm reading or have read, but occassionally a movie or music review. Right now I'm reading the book of Matthew from the Bible.

Feel free to head on over to Media Musings & Me and share your thoughts.

Star Wars Book

I just finished reading Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope. A little different from the movie and I must say that in my personal opinion I think George Lucas is much better at creating film stories than writing book stories.

Having seen the movies a few times (most recently the DVD versions), I had to keep asking my did that happen in the original movie or was that in the DVD version or did it even happen in any of the movies (maybe just my active imagination seeing Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, and Harisson Ford acting out the scenes). There were a few parts that were changed in the movie - most to the better. I like how the book included Luke with his friends. I wish there would have been some time for Luke to mourn over the loss of his friend.

Just some thoughts I had about the book - now on to Empire Strikes Back.
