I'm quite a distance from the best person to answer this question but MySQL has weekly webinars and there are a ton of good tutorials on the web.
I started with WAMP (LAMP, MAMP and XAMP are suitable alternatives) and just started reading tutorials. Then I went to the local discount store and got a book about MySQL & PHP. It wasn't the most recent but it was only a few dollars and the versions were new enough to not be problematic. I like Half.com for books. If you have trouble finding tutorials then leave a message and I'll comb through my bookmarks and see if I can find some that I used. Good luck! g On Tue, Mar 24, 2009 at 9:00 PM, solarflow99 <solarflo...@gmail.com> wrote: > hi, I'm looking for some advice where to learn mysql.
