Thanks for the offer Larry. The course starts on April 30, so I will probably have to develop the materials myself. The most likely scenario is that I will buy the electronic version in addition to the hard copy I currently have and use that for PowerPoints, making quizzes, etc.

I'm teaching a web database integration course this coming semester. Last year when I taught it, we used a dreadful book with ASP.net, Visual Basic, etc. This year I want to use PHP & MySQL, both of which I am very familiar with. In fact, I'm teaching a web programming class that's using PHP & JavaScript right now. I'm using an O'Reilly book for that, and while the book is really good, I had to create all of the test bank questions, homework assignments, powerpoint slides, etc. I know this book provides the source code, which is good, but I really don't want to have to develop all of the assets myself. It's not that I can't, but I'd rather spend more time being able to grade students' papers & give them feedback on homework. That is one of the advantages of using an academic publisher's books as opposed to Peachpit Press or O'Reilly, they provide a lot of assets for you. I'd be interested in hearing feedback from anyone who is using this book to teach a college-level course, and possibly obtain materials and/or collaborate on developing materials together.
