I thought this post was from Smashing Magazine when I saw it in Google Reader because they’ve just had a book giveaway as well. Anyway I’d have to choose the first book because I already know CSS and want to learn more PHP and MySQL. Its annoying have to keep borrowing books from the library to learn :-).
So that will be book 1 for me, thanks!
I’m a subscriber here!
I think I would like to win Beginning CSS Web Development. I really don’t know anything about css but would like to learn and I think this book could help me out with it.
Hey I posted of this giveaway here:
Free books giveaway contest–comment and win
I am interested on the book 1, I have no idea on php or css but its a good start to learn with the book 1. I have new domain and still wanting to learn more about php.
The book i choose:Beginning CSS Web Development - By Simon Collison.
My comment is :
“This is a good way to start web designing and a must have for a person who wishes to be professional web designer in future.”
Great contest! Thanks!
As I am quite advanced in CSS, I would chose the PHP5 and MySQL Bible. I would like to have only one copy.I am in the beginnings of learning PHP and MySQL so I find this a great opportunity to have a book for free. Thanks very much DiggitLive!
Well as I am informally-versed with CSS I think I’ll pass on that one.
I think the PHP + MySQL Bible would be a wonderful prize. I know a bit of PHP, a bit of MySQL but I’ve never implemented the little that I know. I think I need that book to motivate me! Haha.
Great giveaway, btw.
Oh Wow! Choose one? Only one?? Drats! Either would be wonderful, but I confess to being a book hound….I can never have enough books!
My weakness is PHP, so since I HAVE to choose only one, I will choose #1.
Many thanks for hosting such a great contest! I never win these things, so am holding out absolutely zero hope, but there’s always a first time or so they say.
Keep up the great work on this blog!

I’m a Graphic Designer working on Print related softwares like Illustrator, Corel Draw, Indesign etc and only have the basic knowledge about the web but still like to learn more. If i get this book then i would like gifting it to my friend who is working on SQL related projects and i think it would be helpful to him.
“Its a good thing you have started as u are imparting knowledge in one way or the other for the wanted.”

The second book: Beginning CSS for the reason that I’m taking classes for multimedia and this would be a book I could definitely use in the future (as well as now!!!)
