Pro PHP: Patterns, Frameworks, Testing and More

Dear Reader,

Today, PHP applications are powering the largest of web companies, and trans-

forming what it means to be a programmer. Thousands of developers are using

this loosely typed, flexible language to deliver their applications faster.

But as more and more businesses switch to PHP, applications are getting

bigger and more complex. Developers are faced with some serious challenges.

How do you structure your applications for team-based development? How can

you build in security, scalability, and extensibility? And how can you make the

most of PHP 6’s new features? I wrote this book to answer these questions. It

contains the knowledge you need to write well-structured, enterprise-ready

applications with a solid object-oriented foundation, using all the advanced

features of the PHP language.

The book begins with a look at advanced object-oriented programming,

including abstract classes, static members, exceptions, and design patterns.

Then I cover test-driven development, documentation standards, and proven

ways to build and deploy your applications.

Next, I cover two immensely powerful components: the reflection API and

Standard PHP Library (SPL). These allow you to create applications with a technical

elegance rarely seen in web application development.

The Zend Framework has begun to create a standardized method of Model-

View-Controller (MVC) development within the PHP community. I cover the

MVC pattern and the Zend Framework in depth, explaining the architecture,

workflow, and components found in team-driven professional development.

The book finishes with a section on advanced Web 2.0 programming, covering

everything from Ajax and JSON to SOAP web services and client-side certificate

authentication.

If you want to take PHP way beyond the basics, this is the book for you.
