Preface

In the age of the Internet, building a web application is no longer a tough task, but building the web application in the right way is not a trait mastered by many. Building a Web Application with PHP and MariaDB: A Reference Guide is aimed at taking readers to the next level and to transform them from beginner-level programmers to intermediate or advanced-level programmers. Building a Web Application with PHP and MariaDB: A Reference Guide is a well thought out guide that begins with the basics of PHP and MariaDB and covers complex topics such as caching, security, building a REST API, and performance optimization. Building a web application that will be secure, scale well under pressure, and have an API available to different subscribers is not a simple task, but this book will make this a simple, easy-to-learn, and a memorable journey.
