PHP 5 Objects, Patterns and Practice
Daniel Holmes have reviewed the PHP 5 Objects, Patterns and Practice, by Matt Zandstra. A 400 pages of PHP with advanced and varied topics separated in three main parts : Objects, patterns and practice. Daniel conclude :
As I mentioned earlier, one of my favorite features of this book is that the examples are "real." This is not some collection of abstract examples like building the next great competitor to Word -- these are website concepts we mere mortals can relate to, such as product catalogs, games, invoices, and the like. You know, the stuff we actually do for a living.
I would certainly recommend this book (as if there was any doubt) to any PHP developer. This is especially true for anyone interested in learning more about using objects and classes more appropriately than ever before.
I would also recommend this book to any Java, Ruby or Python developer out there who hears the letters PHP in a sentence and immediately responds with any number of colorful phrases. As we have all read the Pragmatic Programmer by now, we know we can learn something from reading up on any language, and PHP has never been better than it is today.
