Writing a PHP guide?
I was going to cover some basics, or perhaps link to some basics. Then take the reader through writing a database driven website in PHP. It would show the user how to create a blog, comments system, pagination etc. However, the goal would be for the user to understand PHP and a little about databases too.
I know many people do not wish to know this as they just use a CMS already out there but do you think there is a market for such a book? The reason I think it would be good is not so the reader can build a blog but so they can hopefully go away and hack away at an opensource forum to give it some cool functionality or something similar.
What are your thoughts? I don't want to bother wasting my time if no one thinks it is a good idea.
