Packt Clean Code in PHP: Expert tips and best practices to write beautiful, human-friendly, and maintainable PHP

Ótimo livro, recomendo a todos PHP Developers.

As a long-time PHP programmer (since version 4) that's always on the lookout to improve his craft, I get excited to see the tool of my trade is still being written about.To expand on the answer to the titular question, I'd like to offer some insight into the contents of the book. Wasn't everything already covered in other books from a plethora of publishers that came out in the last two decades? Is there something more to be said about PHP, more than 20 years after its initial release? Certainly!PHP was created as a practical, easy-to-use language. It always had an extremely low barrier to entry and that was one of the biggest reasons it gained popularity and adoption in such large numbers. Naturally, many introductory and reference books followed, to ride the way of popularity and help people get on board even quicker.As the language progressed (and the community along with it) and matured, everybody adopted a different style and an opinion on how to use the language in a clean, concise, and collaboratively acceptable manner. Unfortunately, resources and literature on those learnings didn't follow suit. That created a void that Windler and Daubois are addressing with this book.By building upon industry standards and already accepted good practices, authors have created a book that puts you, as a PHP programmer, in the driver's seat - navigating you and giving you advice on how to do it the right way.To write clean, and, as the front page says, human-friendly code in today's world, one needs more than just a knowledge of PHP's syntax. That's where this book excels. It will give you not just an overview, but also an explanation and how-to on many things built around the language.You'll learn about code quality and metrics (and the tools), tests, and what I enjoyed the most - working in a team and writing effective documentation.PHP is alive and well, and publications like this one are proof that it will stay so for the time to come. If you're just starting out or if you're a PHP veteran, there are things here that'll help you level up your game!
