Here it is:
<https://www.amazon.co.uk/Learning-MySQL-JavaScript-Animal-ebook/dp/B0043D2DZA/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1318022114&sr=8-2>
I've started reading it, and I like the style. I have to learn PHP and MtSQL
as I run the Squadron's website and I must update the flight booking system --
no one else will, unless we manage to recruit a student next week who can do
this stuff. Fingers crossed, but in case we don't, I might soon be prepared.
Oh, and we might not be running 2 instructors short for very much longer. I
and the Boss have been the only full-time instructors for 90-odd tyro flyers
and it doesn't leave much time for GOTD (Getting Other Things Done) :-). But
soon, I'll be able to put in my expense claims, tidy my desk and be nice to
people etc . . .
Thanks again, Chuck.
