2.0 out of 5 stars Too much testing and not enough pattern discussion., 6 Mar 2007

By	Eamonn Sweeney (Donegal, Ireland) - See all my reviews

I am a little disappointed with the format of this book. It should be titled an introduction to test driven development. I bought the book based on some of the posts Jason has made on sitepoints advanced php forum and thought it may be a useful addition to my collection of patterns books, alas this one will sit on the shelf gathering dust.

Far too much of this book is taken up with writing tests to validate the code examples. I did not buy this book to learn test driven design. I bought it to read Jason's take on design patterns. While the patterns are thoughtfully presented and discussed the code examples in both php4 and php5 are again a waste of bookspace. I wish he had concentrated on one or the other.
If you remove the testing and php4 examples there is not a lot of the book left for a php5 developer.

Whilst I like Jason's writing style and respect his views I cannot recommend this book.

2.0 out of 5 stars The authors lost the plot, Test unit focus ruins the book., 14 Sep 2007

By	A. Ogden - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I agree completely with the last reviewer in regards to this book. The book completely loses your focus by concentrating first and foremost on creating TestUnits and completely ruining the focus on trying to teach patterns.

I have since purchased the Java based book 'Head First, Design Patterns' which in stark contrast to this book make learning patterns both a) FUN and b) INTERESTING and despite being Java based for the most part, it make the patterns extremely easy to understand and re-writing them in PHP is the easy part (actually makes it more fun).

This book is took dull and the TestUnit focus completely lost me, I'm going to give my copy to the local library, perhaps someone may find it useful.

1.0 out of 5 stars not good, 21 Mar 2008

By	Keith Whyman "a reader" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

in total agreement - if you want to learn about unit tests - then enjoy this book.
Design patterns are mentioned and described in short terms with a huge lack of practical examples.
Avoid !
