Best way to learn advanced Object Oriented PHP ?

Recommended Posts

I'm getting familiar with procedural php and I've found a number of beginner type of tutorials and stuff for OOP, but I was wondering if anyone knows of any comprehensive coverage of in-depth object-oriented php. I gotta learn it and hit stuff out of the park.

 

Many thanks  :)

Well, I suggest getting a good book or two.  The PHP-specific OOP tome is PHP 5 Objects, Patterns, and Practice by Matt Zandstra (http://www.amazon.com/PHP-Objects-Patterns-Practice-Second/dp/1590599098/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1259430455&sr=1-2). 

 

You can't go wrong with the Gang of Four's groundbreaking book on the subject, either (in fact, Zandstra's book borrows heavily from this one - http://www.amazon.com/Design-Patterns-Elements-Reusable-Object-Oriented/dp/0201633612/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1259430526&sr=1-1).  Best used as a supplement to Zandstra's book once you get comfortable with the basics.

 

Aside from that, practice is your best friend.  Write code, lots of it.
