Introduction to Object Oriented PHP

PHP has become an extremely powerful web development platform, and since PHP 5 it supports a pretty good and capable object model. This allowed the design of high quality frameworks such as the Zend Framework or eZ components. But before you can start using them, you might want to learn a bit more about OOP. This tutorial is an in-depth introduction to object oriented and pattern based programming using PHP 5. You will learn everything necessary to write your own cutting edge components and applications – and of course how to use and extend components from other people or companies. You will learn how and when to use objects as well as when not to use them. And we won’t stop before we have heard about iterators.
