I got a chance to read through and review the Web APIs with PHP book from Wrox Press and was quite impressed with the structure and presentation of the information. Its just the way I like, direct and straight to the point with easy to follow examples. Just show me the code and tell me what its supposed to do and I’m a happy camper.

My main is reason for getting the book was to do some work with the API from Flickr and Google. I have some clients that wanted to pull in Flickr images into their website so the bandwidth on galleries was on Flickr’s server and not theirs.

Finally a book thats fun to play around with…
