Resources for learning - DI / factories / loose coupling

[kutchbhi]

Trying to deeply learn about - dependency injection / factories and other software engineering concepts.

My Goal is to architecture my apps better, by writing modular components.

 

I can find plenty of blog posts and random videos about learning these, but It would be great if someone can suggest a proper video series or book for this. Or please just suggest what/where can I search for finding a course for this. As in does this land under 'design patterns  ' , 'software architecture' or something else ?

 

Any help ?

 

Thanks

My humble suggestion is before watching any video read the OOP theory and try it your self. If you can try it in a real life project also. 

You put “dependency injection” that is a basic feature of OOP , with the factory pattern in the same sentence. What is next there ? Encapsulation  ?  

 

Having a sufficient understanding about OOP you could  learn more about loose coupling and make your own tests. But having a real loose coupling architecture in most projects doesn't worth the effort and the disadvantages of maintaining the code, sometimes it does.

If you're looking specifically for a book, I've always found Matt Zandstra's 'PHP Objects, Patterns, and Practice' and informative and enjoyable read.

DI isn't a basic feature of OOP. It's a design principle/technique. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dependency_injection

 

Here is where I got a fair idea about this:
