Same here. I bought the 'PHP & MySQl Bible' a number of months back. Started reading through this 4-6" thick book, and got tired of reading. I know html, and the concept, and all of that was easy enough to understand. But for me, it's always the time factor. Time reading, time doing trial and error, and the rest of it. In the end, I contracted the work out to a company in the Czech Republic to do it.

A lot cheaper, easier, and less time consuming for me than to do it all myself. If I need to go back in, tinker, or change something. It will be easier with the book, than doing it all from scratch.
