Coming soon: PHP Object-Oriented Solutions

I’ve had my head down for the past few months pounding away at my next book, PHP Object-Oriented Solutions. I put the finishing touches to the final chapter a couple of days ago, and it’s now in the hands of the friends of ED technical review and editorial process. There’s a preview of what the book contains on the foED site, and I plan to get more details up on my own site in the not too distant future.

The book is due to be published in August. The date was chosen because that’s when all support for PHP 4 officially comes to an end. The painfully slow migration to PHP 5 by hosting companies has severely hindered the adoption of object-oriented programming (OOP) among PHP developers, but I hope this book will convince readers that OOP makes for cleaner scripts that are easier to maintain. PHP Object-Oriented Solutions is aimed at readers who feel at home with basic PHP, but want to take their skills to the next level. It’s a gentle, but fast-paced introduction to the delights and mysteries of OOP.
