  <description><![CDATA[<p>Backed by a tireless development community, PHP has been a model of language evolution over its 10+ year history. Borne from a contract developer&rsquo;s pet project, these days you&rsquo;ll find PHP powering many of the world&rsquo;s largest web sites, including Yahoo!, Digg, EA Games, and Lycos.</p>  <p><em>PHP Objects, Patterns, and Practice, Second Edition</em> shows you how to meld the power of PHP with the sound enterprise development techniques embraced by professional programmers. Going well beyond the basics of object-oriented development, you&rsquo;ll learn about advanced topics such as working with static methods and properties, abstract classes, interfaces, design patterns, exception handling, and more. You&rsquo;ll also be exposed to key tools such as PEAR, CVS, Phing, and phpDocumentor.</p>  &lt;h3&gt;What you&rsquo;ll learn&lt;/h3&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Write solid, maintainable code by embracing object-oriented techniques and design patterns.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Create detailed, versatile documentation using the powerful phpDocumentor automated documentation system. &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Gain new flexibility during the development process by managing your code within a CVS repository and using the Phing build system. &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Capitalize upon the quality code of others by using the PEAR package management solution. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;   &lt;h3&gt;Who is this book for?&lt;/h3&gt; <p>PHP developers seeking to embrace sound development techniques such as object-orientation, design patterns, testing, and documentation</p>   &lt;h3&gt;Related Titles from Apress&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;Beginning PHP and MySQL: From Novice to Professional, Third Edition&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Pro PHP: Patterns, Frameworks, Testing and More&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Beginning Google Maps Applications with PHP and Ajax: From Novice to Professional&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;]]></description>

    <![CDATA[<p>Backed by a tireless development community, PHP has been a model of language evolution over its 10+ year history.

Going well beyond the basics of object-oriented development, you&rsquo;ll learn about advanced topics such as working with static methods and properties, abstract classes, interfaces, design patterns, exception handling, and more. You&rsquo;ll also be exposed to key tools such as PEAR, CVS, Phing, and phpDocumentor.</p>  &lt;h3&gt;What you&rsquo;ll learn&lt;/h3&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Write solid, maintainable code by embracing object-oriented techniques and design patterns.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Create detailed, versatile documentation using the powerful phpDocumentor automated documentation system. &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Gain new flexibility during the development process by managing your code within a CVS repository and using the Phing build system. &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Capitalize upon the quality code of others by using the PEAR package management solution. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;   &lt;h3&gt;Who is this book for?&lt;/h3&gt; <p>PHP developers seeking to embrace sound development techniques such as object-orientation, design patterns, testing, and documentation</p>   &lt;h3&gt;Related Titles from Apress&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;Beginning PHP and MySQL: From Novice to Professional, Third Edition&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Pro PHP: Patterns, Frameworks, Testing and More&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Beginning Google Maps Applications with PHP and Ajax: From Novice to Professional&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;]]>
