Hi,

I’ve update my beginners tutorial on object oriented PHP adding steps 18-22.

Again, this is a code intensive article where I expect you to follow along with your PHP editors.

More to come.

Hi,

I’ve update my beginners tutorial on object oriented PHP adding steps 12-17. I cover two new basic OO concepts in these steps:

• Constructors.
• Access modifiers.

Again this is a code intensive article where I expect you to follow along with your PHP editors.

More to come.

Thanks,

Hi,

I just released part 1 of a two part tutorial that teaches object oriented PHP to total beginners.

The tutorial is made up of 23 simple steps where you will learn practical OO PHP.

From the tutorial:

This tutorial is designed to teach total beginners object oriented PHP.

This is not a long-winded theoretical blathering that you see all too often; instead, we actually start writing OO code very quickly.

… I believe that this ‘hands-on’ style of learning, makes understanding OO (object oriented) PHP much easier … and less boring too!

So before you begin, get out your favorite PHP code editor and be ready to write and run some object oriented PHP code.

I hope you guys find it useful.

Intermediate level book for active php programmers. From the book’s cover:

‘Recipes and solutions for PHP programmers’

This is a very good book, actually one of the best recipe books I’ve read period.

You can tell that the authors are still actively writing code – you can feel it as you read the chapters. The book consist of a series of techniques (they call recipes) that are commonly needed by php programmers.

Some example recipes:

• How to Sort Arrays
• Send HTTP headers
• Encode a string for use in a URL

… this book is packed with all kinds of php goodies. There is much more to be found .. I just never list too much from a book since you can easily look it up online.

THE ‘QUICK HITS’

After a brief introduction, each chapter provides a bunch of micro-tips related to the recipes discussed in the chapter. They call these tips: ‘quick hits’.

I found the ‘quick hits’ to be very useful because they provide a very concise and easy to read look at aspects of the php language. I can see myself referring to this book often just because of the ‘quick hits’.

I actually keep this book nearby to flip through once and a while, just to give me ideas. It has already helped on a php 5 project I am working on.

CONCLUSION

This I think is a great book. It has lots of practical information and is without a doubt, one of the most useful books on programming I’ve read – and I’m talking all languages.

Buy the book if you work with PHP or planning to.

For those of you interested in PHP, I have a new article out in the December issue of Web Designer Magazine:

OOP in PHP.

It is a beginners article that targets total newbies … in terms of OOP (object oriented programming).

By the end of the article, you will have a good understanding of the fundamentals object oriented programming, and you will have enough knowledge to use and build your own objects in PHP.

CIAO,
