I figured that it really was about time I got my PHP blog off the ground. Although I don’t consider myself "up there" with such luminaries as Sklar, Zandstra, Alshanetsky or Shiflett, I have been coding in PHP for many years, and hope I can im

While we’re on the subject of useful refactorings, I’d like to describe how using an Intercepting Filter helped round up and modularise software setup and initialisation tasks. Before the code could get down to business with the framework’s main task,

Advanced PHP Programming by George Schlossnagle.

The book recently won ‘Best Development Book’ at the 2005 Linux Journal Editor’s Choice Awards and I highly recommend it.

Hi Tolan – thanks for writing in and congratulations to you + Matt on a great book. I kinda played down my review of the book at the last minute because i was surprised how all the Amazon reviews put it in a ‘beginner’ category. The truth is I thought the review of OOP practices and ideas introduced were both excellent and I found this work a head and shoulders above its voluminous peers.

[Full disclosure: I tech reviewed this book and I work with the author]

The idea behind an introduction to OO was that for a lot of people moving to PHP5 the new focus on OO might be a spur for them to start using OO where they hadn’t before.

Remember that PHP is a procedural language first.

The book doesn’t have a language introduction though, except for OO specific usage, and mainly focussing on the new parts of PHP5. It’s definitely aimed at existing PHP users.

Why do books always waste space on the basics? Seems like every OO programming book I run across starts out with a chapter to introduce OO, then a few chapters to introduce you to the language itself, then they finally get to the point, about halfway through the book.

Is it just that authors feel like they have to stuff in this filler to justify the outrageous price of the books?

I’ve had this book for a while and I always recommend that new employees at Fotopic read it. The theory is sound, and the practical implementations change the way most people program – for the better.
