You are trying to learn both ASP and PHP at the same time? ( As posted in your other thread http://www.webmasterforums.com/showthread.php?t=2472 )
If you are just a beginner, I suggest you stick to one and then go to the other when you have at least got through the beginner stages.
That is a good book, but learn PHP first, I personally think it would help. You could find the book for a really cheap price on eBay, I bought a C++ book and Liberty BASIC book there (I regret buying the Liberty one).
