Today I received a message from O'Reilly, that my book PHP Design Patterns is now going to print and is scheduled to be released in September 2006. The work of the last six months is finally bearing fruit and I will be able to spend my spare time on coding again instead of just writing. If you wondered, why patTemplate or any of my other open source projects did not show any progress, this announcement should answer your questions.
I put nearly all of my thoughts on software architecture, OO design and patterns into this book and thus it consists of 370 pages dealing with OO development in PHP 5.1, creational patterns, structural patterns, behavioural patterns as well as enterprise patterns and MVC architectures. Furthermore it covers SPL, Propel and patTemplate to provide some real-life examples of the patterns.
If you intend to buy the book, you should be warned that it has been written completely in German. If you still are interested, you will find more information on the book as well as the code example on the website or you can already pre-order it from Amazon.
Thanks go to gERD, luckec and Frank who supported me with the knowledge as well as Toby, who introduced me to O'Reilly.
