Useful and motivational book! Nice to have, must to read.
Valuable information inside all short-cases.
Easy to read, easy to follow... I would recommend it for beginners, valuable book for a quick start-up. Sometimes too long samples but in general it's much better than links to internet storages.
In addition it's already outdated:
PHP 5.2 (http://php.net/supported-versions.php) - support ended at ~2014
Zend Framework 1.8 - support ended at ~2010
I would not recommend this book to follow. Broken PSR rules, using internal variables instead of functions, spagetti-code and many other bad practices. Can be helpful only for a quick overview of Zend ecosystem.
Remarkable book for highlighting the most valuable areas in Hadoop.
This book will not help you to understand Ext JS Framework, even just for starting purposes.
I could not say was it helpful or not. There were valuable points and waterfall of unnecessary code...
The best test-book to review your knowledge before Zend PHP Certification!
Do not recommend it as a scripting reference, only as a newbie first book.
Easy to read, nice short samples. But it's too short in details and one big error: missing part of Error classes. In PHP 7 it's possible to catch errors: try { $value = $this->n % 0; } catch (DivisionByZeroError $e) { return $e->getMessage(); }
Must have & read. Good written, and give quite a lot of tips for a future self-improvement in PHP development.
Second (PBE Patterns and Guidelines) and third (Benefits of PBE) parts of the book were really useful indeed.
Great book with many valuable points.
Alex, Jordan, Duncan.... who are those guys? How are they related to the Pattern-Based Engineering itself? Looks like a verbiage. Dislike the "story-tail" narrative prose style in a technical book.
Great book! Part of «must have & read» series.
Plus for some usable overviews
Useful at least, but it looks mostly like a draft than a book. Also it's bound to the time of publication, so it's become outdated actually
Too simple solutions that do not cover all requirements for the module itself. As an example, simple "calculate characters" covers only latin1, it's not applicable for utf-8 at all.
Pro PHP? Definitely not. Author has done all possible errors: cyclomatic complexity, spagetti code, broken PSR standard and OWASP rules, etc. Unacceptable negligence for the book that presents itself as PRO. MVC? Only the first chapter. All others - reinventing the wheel named "Website Framework", nothing in common with Model-View-Controller pattern at all. It's even incredible to suggest own testing approach instead of phpunit (de-facto standard for testing).
