PHP in Action – Chapter 7, Design Patterns. Part – I

p. !PHP in Action and they sent us a chapter to share with you. PHP in Action is scheduled to release in April of this year but it’s available now in “Manning Early Release Program”, or “MEAP”:http://www.manning.com/about/meap.html#meapfaq. MEAP is a cool program that allows you to buy the book long before it is released and have access to the chapters as they are released. Then, when the final dead-tree edition ships, they will send you one. The great thing is, there is no additional cost for MEAP.

Here’s the description they list on the “book’s homepage”:http://www.manning.com/reiersol/.

bq. To keep programming productive and enjoyable, state-of-the-art practices and principles are essential. Object-oriented programming and design help manage complexity by keeping components cleanly separated. Unit testing helps prevent endless, exhausting debugging sessions. Refactoring keeps code supple and readable. PHP offers all this…and more.

The book is written by Dagfinn Reiersol with Marcus Baker and Chris Shiflett.

Now that you’ve read the rest, here’s what you’ve been looking for, “the link to Chapter 7″:http://devzone.zend.com/content/pdfs//PHPinAction_part1of3.pdf.
