Pro PHP-GTK

Pro PHP-GTK is authored by active PHP community member and PHP-GTK project contributor Scott Mattocks. In this book, he presents both a definitive reference and hands-on tutorial to the PHP-GTK extension. The book couples the extension's key topics with practical examples, to guide you through a real-world project that develops a database-driven client-side inventory manager. You'll also learn how to integrate this feature with other emerging technologies like SOAP and RSS, and learn how to generate XML-based interfaces.
