Pro PHP MVC

Book Description

Model View Controller () is becoming the definitive of frameworks due to the stability, extensibility and predictability it lends to . It is not just the primary separation of , logic and interface components, but includes a wide range of considerations for building high-performing, scalable and secure applications.

Deciding which framework best suits the project you are about to begin is one of the biggest challenges you’ll face as a developer. If you are part of a team, this decision has probably already been made for you; but in any event, you’ll need to know how (and why) the framework authors made it work the way it does.

Pro PHP MVC looks at the building blocks that make any good MVC framework, and how they apply to PHP. It exposes all considerations that many developers take for granted when using a popular framework, and teaches you how to make the framework your own.

Over the course of reading this book, you will learn the theoretical implications of the choices you would make when writing your own MVC framework, and how to put the pieces together in a cohesive package. We take a look at the highly modular Zend Framework—how to use its collection of loosely coupled classes to build a unified system. We also look at , learning from its automated build system (Bakery) and highly intuitive approach to rapid . This book will lay bare all the parts of MVC for you.

What you'll learn

  • The best way to structure your application files
  • How to get from a URL to the right controller/action
  • Cleanly interact with data objects
  • Efficient use of server resources in content delivery
  • Useful shared class libraries to speed up development

Iterating Infusion

Posted: 20 Dec 2012 08:07 AM PST

Iterating Infusion

Book Description

Iterating Infusion: Clearer Views of Objects, Classes, and Systems is a one-of-a-kind book, not dependent on any single technology. Rather, it provides a way to integrate the most efficient techniques from a variety of methods, in a manner that makes and software look easy.

Iterating Infusion presents comprehensive tools for you to best manage and work with object orientation. These include simplified fundamental concepts, popular language comparisons, advanced strategies, a broad usage progression, thorough design notations (interaction algebra), and data-oriented (fundamentally-OO) languages.

The title, Iterating Infusion, alludes to the fact that any system has multiple, coexisting functional levels and that new levels—both lower and higher—are continually added to the same functional area. The practical effect is to bring processes into focus, always clarifying the vague. The extreme form of this is when separate but compatible technologies are brought together to create advancements; these can be baby-steps or great leaps, with varying amounts of effort. In more general terms, the same thing in a different context can take on much more power. And actually, this phenomenon is at the heart of software.

Readers have been confirming that, compared to books on just low-level details, Iterating Infusion presents cohesive insights that allow you to solve more problems with the same effort in more key places.

Chapter 1. Orientation
Chapter 2. Bi-design
