After the jQuery 1.3 and PHP, Zend Framework 1.8 and WordPress 2.9 E-Commerce book reviews and giveaways (all books from Packt Publishing), I'm reviewing another book today. This time, the book has been written by Peter Spannagle and Sarah Soward and is called WordPress and Flash 10x Cookbook.

As you might expect from reading the title, this book covers some great ways on how to combine WordPress with Flash. For me, it was a very interesting read, since I'm still pretty new to WordPress, but especially since I prefer HTML5/CSS3/jQuery above Flash. Still, I wanted to give this book a go since I really liked reading the other books from Packt.

I've read the book and wrote a review about it that you can read below. Now, you have a chance to win this 250+ pages thick book and read it yourself!

What you'll learn from this book:

• How to make your WordPress blog or website stand out with Flash
• Build your own .swf files using various plugins
• Develop your own Flash audio player using audio and podcasting plugins
• and much more!

Not one, not two, but Marcofolio.net is turning 3 years old today! Time goes so fast when you're having so much fun, doesn't it? And I'm still writing high quality content with pleasure, still exploring more and more possibilities of the web every day.

I believe the quality of the articles have gained a lot, especially compared to the first year. I wanted to push out a redesign before the blog turned three, but because of the lack if time, you'll have to wait a while. But stay tuned, I hope to get it up and running as fast as possible.

I hope to see you sticking around here and enjoy your stay on this website as much as I do writing it. Stay tuned for more high quality articles, jQuery tutorials, inspirational articles, CSS(3) proof of concepts and much, much more!

A while ago, I reviewed the jQuery 1.3 and PHP and Zend Framework 1.8 books. These books are published by Packt Publishing (who just had a redesign on their site) and they asked me to review another book for them. This book, written by Brian Bondari, is called WordPress 2.9 E-Commerce. As you could have guessed by the title of the book, it shares great information about WordPress combined with the WP e-Commerce plugin. This book was an eye opener for myself too, since I'm a Joomla! user myself (combined with VirtueMart) and new in the WordPress scene.

I've read the book and wrote a review about it that you can read below. Now, you have a chance to win this 250+ pages thick book and read it yourself!

What you'll learn from this book:

• Some basic WordPress stuff and more advanced E-commerce things
• Different Payment options
• Securing and Maintaining your webshop
• Use of different plugins for your online store
• and much more!

A while ago, I reviewed the jQuery 1.3 and PHP book. This book is published by Pack Publishing and they asked me to review another book for them. This book, written by Keith Pope, is called Zend Framework 1.8 Web Application Development.

This book was an eye opener for myself too, since I'm a regular user of the CakePHP framework.

I've read the book and wrote a review about it that you can read below. Now, you have a chance to win this 350+ pages thick book and read it yourself!

What you'll learn from this book:

Combining both jQuery and PHP can be very powerful. One of my very popular articles called A fancy Apple.com-style search suggestion is combining these two techniques too, to achieve the desired effect. There are loads of tutorials on the net that also use both techniques, but Kae Verens wrote a complete book about it. The book is called jQuery 1.3 with PHP (by Packt Publishing) and shares great information on how you can combine jQuery and PHP for use on your own website.

I've read the book and wrote a review about it. Now, you have a chance to win this book and read it yourself!

What you'll learn from this book:

• Integrate jQuery into your PHP applications
• Manipulate images non-destructively
• Create your own jQuery plugins
• Use a drag/drop mechanism to sort lists and create hierarchical menus
• and much more!.
