Product Description
Product Description
With the surge of popularity of PHP 5, object-oriented programming is now an important consideration for PHP developers. This version-neutral book is a gentle introduction to object-oriented programming (OOP) that won't overburden you with complex theory. It teaches you the essential basics of OOP that youll need to know before moving onto a more advanced level, and includes a series of pre-packaged scripts that you can incorporate into your existing sites with the minimum of effort.
It shows how object-oriented programming can be used to create reusable and portable code by walking you through a series of simple projects. The projects feature the sorts of things developers run up against every day, and include a validator for filtering user input, a simple Date class that avoids the need to remember all the esoteric format codes in PHP, and an XML generator.
- Teaches the fundamentals of OOP
- Simple projects show how OOP concepts work in the real world
- Pre-packaged scripts can easily be added to your own projects

Good concepts chapter and several chapters working through practical examples.
David Powers has a nice writing style which is clear, informative and engaging.
The book, alike most, introduces concepts by slowly walking you through examples stage by stage, so that you can make sense of it when you are presented with the 'full code' at the end of the chapter. Only problem here is that he says the full code is available online, at a certain address, which I couldn't find, so I typed up the examples myself to read through them, which I didn't mind really as I think that was more 'hands on' style learning.
Only little downside 'for me' is that I read this book hoping it would prime me to walk straight into learning a framework, however, after searching round, I've realized, 1) there are too many to choose from 2) there doesn't seem to be any 'quality' books on here that can 'easily' teach you about them 3) if honest, I've only been learning PHP (and programming for that matter) since January through avidly reading books bought on here, so I think I'm being a little too ambitious really.
Toodles.
