Hey guys,
Within a week's time I'll have finished the Database Foundations & PHP course. Having skimmed through the upcoming chapters I have determined what is being taught, and I'd like to further that knowledge.
This is due to personal curiosity and the fact that some client requests I've had recently would function more efficiently with a content management system. I am much more keen on building a CMS than using a generic JOOMLA/Drupal system.
I've come across this book that has a lot of good reviews (It seems to cover part of what is covered in this PHP course and goes more indepth into login persistence, registration, *security & CMS building).
(Oh boy check out dat overflow ;) )
Before making a decision, I was wondering if the treehouse community would have any other suggestions suitable for an individual who's completed the PHP database tracks on here.
Cheers!

The book you recommended PHP and MySQL for Dynamic Web Sites is good, but I find the following books to be more helpful in specific CMS oriented sites.
I have utilized Mr. Ullman's material previously and have found it to be helpful, but for whatever reason I don't seem to relate to his style well. Your mileage may vary on this, of course.
Best of luck,
Ken
