Best book on Apache, PHP, MySQL?

Question

running on Linux (Debian type), for someone coming from the Windows/IIS/ASP/ASP.NET planet.

Answer 1

To learn PHP/Apache/MySQL, you can buy any book like Beginning PHP5, or any one related to beginning level PHP development. Each book contains some material to configure Apache, MySQL, and PHP on almost every operating system. The main difference you will get initially while shifting from windows to *nix, is the interface of editors. You many not find linix editors as handy as of windows based editors. But practice makes a man perfect. You will have to practice these editors like vim, etc.
