Product Description
Product Description
Publishing in tandem with the long–awaited release of PHP 6, this book reveals the inside scoop for pushing the limits of how to maximize the full feature set of PHP 6. You’ll learn how to use PHP 6 in the larger scheme of enterprise–class software development and practical examples and behind–the–scenes information will improve your skills for designing and building better large–scale, high–performance platforms using PHP 6.
From the Back Cover
Each new version of PHP proves to be easily accessible and requires only a small learning curve. In no time at all, you can put together a simple yet dynamic Web site. This book goes beyond just showing you how to create a quick and uncomplicated site; it helps you deliver better quality software in a shorter amount of time using PHP6.
To put your working knowledge of PHP to use, the authors dive right in with the recent launch of version 6, while highlighting the differences between PHP6 and earlier versions. You′ll begin with the fundamentals of professional development and a review of basic object oriented programming (OOP) concepts, before moving on to more advanced development techniques. You′ll eventually put all that you′ve learned into practice and build an application from the ground up using a model–view controller (MVC) framework. Ultimately, you′ll discover how to unleash the power of PHP6 and push it to its limits.

Solid book but not much about PHP 6
17 Jan 2010
Format:Paperback
As other reviewers have noted, this book doesn't have much about PHP 6. Mostly because PHP 6 has yet to be finalized. But this book is quite good about laying out PHP. I highly recommend reading it even if you already have a PHP background. The examples given in the book are excellent and for the most part are things that might come up in real life.
This book is not for beginners who want to learn PHP, unless you already have a strong background in programming.

A Good PHP6 Book for Object Oriented PHP and Advanced Techniques
4 Jan 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Reading this book and practicing its code was what helped me transition from a regular PHP5 programmer to a professional one that understands Object Oriented aspects of PHP that is the highlight of PHP6.
This book has everything that is needed to make the transition.
The first 127 pages do a good job of describing classes, objects, and interfaces in PHP5. Then it goes into Advanced Development Techniques. Lastly in Pushing PHP to its limits, I found some interesting things.
So, in general, I liked this book as well as other books by the same publisher about PHP5, etc.
But three things seem to create some difficulties for me:
1. I think that they should have used mySQL as primary DB language.
2. The examples in this book are too involved. If you lose track at some point in the middle, then you might have a difficult time catching up later. This is so because the examples keep building complication on top of each other and a missing gap or a skipped section will prevent you from complete understanding of the rest of the book.
3. Book goes into tangential more than is needed. Planning and scheduling is not that related to this topic.
A copy of this book sits in front of me on my desk and I refer to it a lot as I write code.

Quite interesting, but nothing about PHP6
13 July 2009
Format:Paperback
This book is NOT about PHP6 as itself.
There is nothing about coming features, how they are going to be, etc.
This books is more about best practices in project, designs and coding styles.
This was disapointing, but still I got some interesting ideas from this book.
