Comment Yet another PHP book (Score 2, Interesting) 228
As a professional PHP developer, I've found Web Application Development with PHP 4.0 to be one of the best books I've ever purchased. The authors, Tobias Ratschiller and Till Gerken, don't spens time and paper reprinting the manual. instead, they discuss the abstract concepts that distinguish a well-written webapp from a poorly-written one.
Coding conventions, organizing libraries, API design, and programming in a team environment are all discussed in depth. They include case studies and real-life examples of the concepts they cover.
To summarize, if you want a great discussion of PHP development that you *can't* get from the online manual, check this one out.
