hellomoto Posted October 24 Share Posted October 24 (edited) I'm almost finished reading Developing Large Web Applications by Kyle Loudon (2010) and it keenly reminded me of ProcessWire, and I'd thought that PW came out around then but maybe earlier... Anyway the book is somewhat outdated by now, but I found it at the library and read through most of it quickly. It does provide a solid introduction to OOP in PHP; JavaScript has changed much more, and I basically skipped the CSS part. Are there any [maybe newer] books you would recommend?

So what do you think about this book after some weeks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanyaissues Posted Thursday at 12:51 AM Share Posted Thursday at 12:51 AM The book is easy to read, kinda silly but fun. When I started reading I had zero experience with OOP, so it was funny to jump to understand "design patterns" without having an idea of the basics... BUT, it did help me to make the switch. I'm more confident now working with Custom Classes. I'm totally going to read it again from the start to interiorize the patterns (hopefully haha). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting the book without OOP knowledge is quite a bigger challenge. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
