As a long-time PHP programmer (since version 4) that's always on the lookout to improve his craft, I get excited to see the tool of my trade is still being written about.To expand on the answer to the titular question, I'd like to offer some insight into the contents of the book. Wasn't everything already covered in other books from a plethora of publishers that came out in the last two decades? Is there something more to be said about PHP, more than 20 years after its initial release? Certainly!PHP was created as a practical, easy-to-use language. It always had an extremely low barrier to entry and that was one of the biggest reasons it gained popularity and adoption in such large numbers. Naturally, many introductory and reference books followed, to ride the way of popularity and help people get on board even quicker.As the language progressed (and the community along with it) and matured, everybody adopted a different style and an opinion on how to use the language in a clean, concise, and collaboratively acceptable manner. Unfortunately, resources and literature on those learnings didn't follow suit. That created a void that Windler and Daubois are addressing with this book.By building upon industry standards and already accepted good practices, authors have created a book that puts you, as a PHP programmer, in the driver's seat - navigating you and giving you advice on how to do it the right way.To write clean, and, as the front page says, human-friendly code in today's world, one needs more than just a knowledge of PHP's syntax. That's where this book excels. It will give you not just an overview, but also an explanation and how-to on many things built around the language.You'll learn about code quality and metrics (and the tools), tests, and what I enjoyed the most - working in a team and writing effective documentation.PHP is alive and well, and publications like this one are proof that it will stay so for the time to come. If you're just starting out or if you're a PHP veteran, there are things here that'll help you level up your game!

This book will not teach you how to code, but how to think about what you code, which is at least as important. If you are new to programming, you need this information as much as the more common "code examples" books out there.The first part of the book explains the mindset needed to write code that not only functions in a computer, but is readily understood by other humans. Their time is more valuable than server time. While there are a few code examples expressing important points, the book excels at explaining and encouraging "best practices:" What they are, and why they are.The second part of the book provides continued guidance for actually implementing these ideas in practical ways with general directions for installing and configuring popular tools for making the production of clean code simpler and more streamlined, as well as evaluating the quality of your code.If you're new to programming (<3 years) this book is a must. Not just for you, but for your colleagues, present and future. They'll be glad you read it. If you've been programming longer than that, they should be preaching to choir, but you'll more than likely gain valuable insight into the whys and wherefores of what you're (hopefully) doing already, and may pick up a few additional pointers on tooling.

As a developer with over 20 years’ experience in PHP, I tend to read technical guides with critical eye. The authors seem to have a firm grasp of all facets of the development process, and error on side of being overly thorough, to ensure all readers understand the concepts upon which a clean code foundation is built. With many practical examples and specific direction on how to implement the principles described, this book would be very helpful if you want to either up your game as a developer, want to ensure that you are covering all points with your own process, or are looking for a resource to support your coaching and mentoring of your team.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter.

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
