I can't speak about the third edition, as I got started using what 
appears to be the first. It was indeed a nice quick way to get going, 
but I quite quickly realised that if you took it literally you ended 
up with some rather sloppy code - not so much sloppy PHP as PHP that 
generated sloppy HTML.

I hope this has changed in subsequent editions, but it may be 
something to look out for.
