Sanders W. Learning PHP Design Patterns

O’Reilly Media, Inc., 2013. 362 p.
Language: EnglishBuild server-side applications more efficiently — and improve your PHP programming skills in the process — by learning how to use design patterns in your code. This book shows you how to apply several object-oriented patterns through simple examples, and demonstrates many of them in full-fledged working applications. Learn how these reusable patterns help you solve complex problems, organize object-oriented code, and revise a big project by only changing small parts.With Learning PHP Design Patterns, you’ll learn how to adopt a more sophisticated programming style and dramatically reduce development time:
Learn design pattern concepts, including how to select patterns to handle specific problems;
Get an overview of object-oriented programming concepts such as composition, encapsulation, polymorphism, and inheritance;
Apply creational design patterns to create pages dynamically, using a factory method instead of direct instantiation;
Make changes to existing objects or structure without having to change the original code, using structural design patterns;
Use behavioral patterns to help objects work together to perform tasks Interact with MySQL, using behavioral patterns such as Proxy and Chain of Responsibility;
Explore ways to use PHP’s built-in design pattern interfaces.
