I started working recently on a company but without a mentor to guide me through the best practices so I’m betting on this book to help me improve my skills.

It’s popular because most PHP sites are installs of (awsome) open source products like Wordpress or Media Wiki.

Great publish! Must have printed copy of this book ASAP.

Chris October 21, 2011 at 4:14 am

Only up to chapter 2 but already loving it, i have used PHP for about 2 years now but never really advanced my skills any further. This book has taught me more about OOP in 15 minutes then what i learned in a 2 hour course.

Great work guys =)

Mick Gibson October 23, 2011 at 3:08 pm

Hey Chris … we’re stoked you’re enjoying the book. Thanks for sharing your feedback :)

Bryce October 20, 2011 at 4:37 pm

Mick Gibson October 20, 2011 at 4:44 pm
