This morning, I’ve got bad Amazon remorse.
That’s sort of like buyer’s remorse, but a whole lot worse.
It’s the feeling you get after the doorbell rings, when you see the delightful cardboard box from Amazon–and all of a sudden you think of another book, something you didn’t order, that you really, really wish was inside that box.
Sigh.
Then again, the book I want may not be out yet. It’s:
PHP & Apache
& XML & RSS
& High-Power Time Management
for Dummies
The All-In-One Desk Reference
with CD

You’ll need to add SQL to the list if you want to use PHP to to publish your RSS in XML format off your Apache server any time soon.

Awww, jr. I thought you were my friend. Now I feel really bad. ;-(

It may not be that far off. Especially with “dummies” titles such as, Fibromyalgia For Dummies and Bioinformatics For Dummies recently emerging.

In fact, I was inspired by a real-life title–Apache, MySQL, and PHP Web Development All-in-One Desk Reference For Dummies. (After zipping through that for an hour or two, I’d probably know it all.) Unfortunately, it won’t be out until November.
