Feed Description: The blog of PHP Application Tools
Exploring PHP, a book I've been working on in march, will finally be published. I have been working on this together with Frank, Christian, Sandro and Kore and the book features five articles on advanced PHP topics. All articles in the book have been written in German.
The article I contributed showcases how event-driven-development can be used to create component based, flexible applications that allow you to easily plug in new features without modifying the core application. The examples in the book use PEAR's Event_Dispatcher. Other articles cover unit testing with SimpleTest (by Frank), the generation of 3D images with PEAR's Image_3D (by Kore), migration to PHP 5 and refactoring (by Sandro) as well as news on PHP 6 (by Christian). The editor for the book is Markus Nix, he compiled all the articles. If you take a closer look at the cover, you might see that there are different names listed on the cover than those mentioned in the blog. This is because some of the original authors did not manage to deliver their articles in time and have been replaced.
The planned release date for the book is 08/17/2006, so keep your eyes open.
