Learning difference between book and site

[Peanuthead]

If you have ever seen a html, php, or whatever book it is ussually very large. But at http://www.w3schools.com, the tutorials for languages are very short. What does the book teach that the tutorials don't?

Depends on what book you like, and if you want it to be portable.

I dont mean like that. the books are 500 pages and the tutorials are maybe 30 there has to be something they are not teaching.

There are a lot of things that tutorials don't cover. At least that's what I understood from my learning (I am still learning, I am a noob yet). After all, tutorials are free, while books cost $ .

I own about 3 books about PHP, and I must say that I've learned quite a bit of my stuff from them, and there is some stuff in them that is hard to find online tutorials for.
