Book Description

PHP is a great language for developing web applications. It is essentially a server-side scripting language. PHP 7 is the latest version, providing major backward-compatibility breaks and focusing on improved performance and speed. This course follows a learning path which is divided into three modules. Each module is a mini course in its own right, taking your basic PHP programing skills to the next level by showing you intermediate to advanced PHP techniques with a focus on PHP 7. The first module of the book is a programming cookbook that consists over 80 recipes! Each recipe is designed to solve practical, real-world problems faced by PHP developers like yourself every day. This course also covers new ways of writing PHP code made possible only in version 7. The second module of the course is designed to improve the performance and productivity of your application. You'll be introduced to the concepts of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) in PHP 7 and then shed some light on how to improve the performance of your PHP 7 applications and database. With all important concepts of PHP covered up you will move on to third module. In this module you will gain a deep insight into the modular programming paradigm and how to achieve modularity in your PHP code. Modular design techniques help you build readable, manageable, reusable, and more efficient codes. By the end of this module you will have a good understanding of modular application development using PHP 7. This Learning Path combines some of the best that Packt has to offer in one complete, curated package. It includes content from the following Packt products: • PHP 7 Programming Cookbook, Doug Bierer • Learning PHP 7 High Performance, Altaf Hussain • Modular Programming with PHP 7, Branko Ajzele
