Reddit mentions of Beginning PHP5, Apache, and MySQL Web Development

I was in your place a few years ago and what I did was to start picking up books on subjects I knew had a market. I usually started with the "for dummies" version, then moved to the "Wrox Beginning <something>" and then to the "Wrox professional <something>" another editorial I have read is "Apress"

For example how I first started with web development was with these books (well, different versions but the same line):

• http://www.amazon.com/MySQL-Dummies-CDROM-Janet-Valade/dp/0764516507
  
• http://www.amazon.com/Beginning-Apache-MySQL-Development-Programmer/dp/0764579665/ref=sr_1_6?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1322843016&sr=1-6
  
• http://www.amazon.com/Beginning-PHP-MySQL-Novice-Professional/dp/1430231149/ref=sr_1_sc_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1322843097&sr=1-1-spell
  
  
  Try following the examples and then building things for yourself, building a reddit clone is a nice exercise.
