macross Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Is there any decent eBook about building content management system from scratch which would use front-controller design pattern? Everything i find on the internet it's just plain old html/php smashup. I have searched and found only one book which is exactly what i wanted it's called "CMS Design Using PHP and jQuery", but as soon as i started reading it became clear that it's horrible (Bad programming practices)... Variable names starts with one letter like $j, $r directory names also with one letter, loops nested 4 levels up while you can achieve same thing with one loop... It's really hard to understand what’s happening when all I can see is spaghetti code. So maybe someone could point me to a decent eBook? I hope this is correct section for my question if not please move it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehippy Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Pro PHP: Patterns, Frameworks, Testing and More by Kevin McArthur is pretty good, explanations of design patterns which lead to practical usage with Zend Framework. I'm not sure if that's acceptable to you. OOA/D and design pattern books abound, but are largely language agnostic as they are a core concept to programming most modern programming, not specificly to PHP. Martin Fowler, et al - Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture Jason Sweat - php|architect's Guide to PHP Design Patterns Eric Freeman, et al - Head First Design Patterns [Obligatory O'Reilly Book and really good] Zend Framework 1 is a behemoth, but at its core its a very well written object oriented framework, read it. ZF2 is under active development and might be a bit confusing, beta4 was just released just recently. Symfony2 is another good code read. Lithium, Solar, micromvc, even tools like phing have a good or decent design you might want to read through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
