What is custom duty/charge?

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order?

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.

Excellent book. I started a project with my new team based on this platform, never worked with CI before and it took me less than 2 weeks to begin working with them in production. And only had two chapters read!.

Covers the fundamentals of the MVC framework, good set of recipes that targets competent developers. However i wouldn't suggest this book for beginners starting out with CodeIgniter.

Mikel Viera Apr 03, 2014

There are very few bugs in the code. Outstanding Users Guide you can download which lists every function with a code example."CodeIgniter 2 Cookbook" is a detailed overview of CodeIgniter. The topics in a different, perhaps, more understandable format. This is a reading book. You're not meant to sit at your computer, and input the code with this book.Starting with installation and setup, quick solutions to programming problems. Databases, EU Cookie Law, caching, and everything else in-between with useful, ready-to-go recipes. Also Image manipulation using the Image Manipulation library, user management (building a simple CRUD interface), switching languages on the fly according to the user preference, caching content to reduce server load, and much more. Very useful!!! I will rate this book 4 stars, because it is very readable, and there is value to be gained from the read. It's an excellent detailed overview. There are pearls and tidbits that you pick up in the book that make it worthwhile. You get a good overall feel of CodeIgniter from the book. It's also nice to read a computer book without necessarily running to the computer every two pages. You don't need your computer to benefit from this book, unlike the "Professional CodeIgniter" book .

I recommend this book to anyone who is planning on using CodeIgniter to build web apps. The sections on the first steps towards scaling your app, and extending CodeIgniter itself make this book stand out from the crowd. Today's Web 2.0 is demanding more with less. CodeIgniter, an up-and-coming PHP-based Web application development framework that leaves a little footprint, rises to the challenge.This is a must have book for reference - covers everything in detail.

Kender Feb 01, 2014

This book covers the basics, and provides detailed code to do most necessary functions for a basic website, but be warned it is not for the PHP nor HTML beginner and the HTML is not up to current standards (I understand that some nuances need to be skipped for brevity and to keep to the main point of the book, but no mention of the need to edit for proper "semantic" HTML).If you know the basics already though, and are looking to get into a framework like CodeIgniter, then this is a very good book to learn how the MVC framework is written, and how to write code for use in an MVC framework (and it provides user and shopping cart functions within the book, so bonus there).So, while I do believe the book is very useful to learn the MVC framework, CI specifically, I recommend you be more thoughtful in the output that you generate when writing your own. Also, with CodeIngiter looking for new ownership, and its future up in the air with the framework (who knows what the new ownership may do), you may be more better suited to look into another framework, such as Laravel ([...]).

CodeIgniter 2 Cookbook: As a PHP developer, you may have wondered how much difference the Codeigniter framework might make when creating web applications. Now you can find out with a host of customizable recipes ready to insert into your own work.
