Re: [PHP] Recommended Books on Object Oriented Programming
Hi, I want to properly learn object oriented programming as I've been coding in procedural style since I started with PHP a few years ago, and want to give OOP a shot. The web isn't really a good resource to learn OOP in PHP to be honest, as a lot is outdated for PHP4's style of OOP. I've looked into OOP quite a bit and understand the concept of it, and want to take it further. Any recommendations appreciated :). I bought beginning PHP 5 and MySQL E-Commerce from Novice to Professional by Christian Darie and beginning php and MySQL E-Commerce from Novice to Professional 2nd edition and they have helped me a lot with OO. It's a tutorial book that builds an E-Commerce website from start to finish and teaches how to build and use SMARTY templates, how to use PEAR and Ajax. 1st edition http://www.amazon.com/Beginning-PHP-MySQL-E-Commerce- ebook/dp/B001IKJL38/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8s=digital-textqid=1269518047sr=8-2 2nd edition http://www.amazon.com/Beginning-PHP-MySQL-E-Commerce- Professional/dp/1590598644/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_3?ie=UTF8qid=1269518108sr=8-3- fkmr1 -- Blessings David M.

I think the Head First Object Oriented Analysis and Design book is a good place to start. http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=-QpmamSKl_ECdq=Head+First+Object+Oriented+Analaysis+and+Designprintsec=frontcoversource=bnhl=enei=9hKqS6LUKNP__AbXl8CAAQsa=Xoi=book_resultct=resultresnum=4ved=0CBoQ6AEwAw#v=onepageq=f=false For PHP, a book I really liked was: http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=LWkGyWErOq0Cprintsec=frontcoverdq=Web+applications+PHP+And+MySQLhl=enei=KROqS9jWAtCM_Ab5isC1AQsa=Xoi=book_resultct=resultresnum=1ved=0CDoQ6AEwAA#v=onepageq=f=false A very clear route to developing OO PHP applications. There is a sample winestore application in the last section of the book. You will still need to use the Web as these books become out of date as soon as they're published. I recommend to focus more on the thought process rather than the actual code in the books. To really grasp OO in PHP, I recommend checking out a popular open source PHP Application and go through the code. A CMS or a framework should suffice.
