+PHP3 and MySQL Web Development introduces you to the advantages of
+implementing both MySQL and PHP3. These advantages are detailed
+through the provision of both statistics and several case studies. A
+practical web application is developed throughout the book, providing
+you with the tools necessary to implement a functional online
+database. Each function is developed separately, allowing you the
+choice to incorporate only those parts that you would like to
+implement. Programming concepts of the PHP3 language are highlighted,
+including functions which tie MySQL support into a PHP3 script and
+advanced topics regarding table manipulation.

+C++ For Real Programmers bridges the gap between C++ as described in
+beginner and intermediate-level books and C++ as it is practiced by
+experts. Numerous valuable techniques are described, organized into
+three simple themes: indirection, class hierarchies, and memory
+management. It also provides indepth coverage of template creation,
+exception handling, pointers and optimization techniques. The focus of
+the book is on ANSI C++ and so is compiler independent. C++ For Real
+Programmers is a revision of Secrets of the C++ Masters and includes a
+new appendix comparing C++ with Java. The book comes with a 3.5" disk
+for Windows with source code.
