NYCPHP Meetup

[Rob Marscher]

High Performance MySQL is one of my favorite books.  I just got Pro MySQL because I wanted to learn a bit more about the newer MySQL features like stored procedures and views.  It seems very thorough... though I haven't gotten very deep into it yet.  It does have a chapter on security.
