Advanced PHP Programming

by George Schlossnagle

Over the past three years PHP has evolved from being a niche language used to add dynamic functionality to small sites to a powerful tool making strong inroads into large-scale, business-critical Web systems. The rapid maturation of PHP has created a skeptical population of users from more traditional "enterprise" languages who question the readiness and ability of PHP to scale, as well as a large population of PHP developers without formal computer science backgrounds who have learned through the hands-on experimentation while developing small and midsize applications in PHP. While there are many books on learning PHP and developing small applications with it, there is a serious lack of information on "scaling" PHP for large-scale, business-critical systems. Schlossnagle's Advanced PHP Programming fills that void, demonstrating that PHP is ready for enterprise Web applications by showing the reader how to develop PHP-based applications for maximum performance, stability, and extensibility.

[Daniel González · Rating 4 out of 5]

No he leído el libro completo, tan solo el bloque de desarrollo de extensiones, en el que explica algunos de los principales conceptos.

Si tuviera que ponerle un pero, es que se pierde en algún momento presentando listas interminables de funciones.
