Xdega Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 As title states. Basically I have a grasp of the basics of php, but I am now looking at taking a step in to the world of OO programming as I believe this will be very useful to learn. Are there any top/favorite books out there on this topic that are worth looking in to? Preferably printed. thx.

lastkarrde Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I highly recommend the book PHP In Action, it is very thorough and covers best practices such as testing and design patterns. I wrote a review of PHP In Action on my blog. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/227204-good-book-for-learning-oo-php/#findComment-1172043 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xdega Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 Well. I picked that one up along with a new book on html5. A little worried about my obsession with buying books lately. With a huge lack of printed magazines out there though I guess it isn't too bad. I must say that I am getting pretty excited about HTML5/CSS3 (eek, I think I really am a nerd). Anyways, now I'm just rambling. Thanks for the tips, from the few pages I saw on Amazon, looks like it will be a very enjoyable read.
