Having reviewed the Web Design Garage from Marc Campbell which taught users how to build a basic website quick and easy. With PHP-Nuke Garage, this is the next step in web design. After you?ve built hundreds and maybe even thousands of web pages via HTML, you?ve probably begun to notice how tedious and time consuming manual updating can be. You have a firm grasp of how web design works, the way scripts and multimedia programs can be used to improve your website?s interactivity but you now want something that you can maintain yourself but not spend as much time on.

When you?ve reached this point, this is where PHP-Nuke Garage by Don Jones comes in. PHP-Nuke Garage (Prentice Hall ISBN 0-13-185516-6) is a detailed and very intuitive book that provides website operators the ability to manage their website from a centralized location via a database. Imagine that, no more manual updating or wasting long periods of time building new HTML pages while keeping the site?s integrity intact. With PHP-Nuke, you can do all those things and save yourself the time and energy.

To build a more sophisticated website and without the need to develop it completely from scratch, PHP-Nuke is one way to get the job done. PHP-Nuke is a content management system which the website administrator can modify modules that control various aspects of the website?s look and functionality.

What is PHP-Nuke
PHP-Nuke may be a strange name for a program but it?s a very important program for those looking at building interactive, database-driven websites. Why go through the hassle of building and managing websites via hand coding? Imagine how much more productive and less time consuming the management of a large scale website would be if you only had to make changes from one central location? That?s what PHP-Nuke is all about. Building a fully interactive website that is easily manageable.

It doesn?t matter what type of website you?re looking to build, PHP-Nuke provides a base number of features with free add-ons available on the internet.

What?s in the Book?
Don Jones begins by describing what PHP-Nuke is all about and its significance to web designers. This is important because you can determine right there if PHP-Nuke will be the solution you?ve been looking for. The book is broken down into five parts with each part covering a number of different subjects on PHP-Nuke.

Part one is a quick start on PHP-Nuke and its purposes. This chapter covers topics such as how PHP-Nuke works, the PHP-Nuke base language, finding the right host for your PHP based website and the most important point of the entire book?installing PHP-Nuke.

Part two begins your journey into the world of PHP-Nuke as Don Jones introduces you to the number of modules in PHP-Nuke. As I mentioned above, PHP-Nuke has its own set of modules that comes with the program but it also contains modules that can handle everything from controlling downloads, content, feedback and even a journal (more commonly known as a blog these days).
