Overview of this book

PHP is a great language for building web applications. It is essentially a server-side scripting language that is also used for general purpose programming. PHP 7 is the latest version with a host of new features, and it provides major backwards-compatibility breaks. This book begins with the fundamentals of PHP programming by covering the basic concepts such as variables, functions, class, and objects. You will set up PHP server on your machine and learn to read and write procedural PHP code. After getting an understanding of OOP as a paradigm, you will execute MySQL queries on your database. Moving on, you will find out how to use MVC to create applications from scratch and add tests. Then, you will build REST APIs and perform behavioral tests on your applications. By the end of the book, you will have the skills required to read and write files, debug, test, and work with MySQL.

About the Reviewer

Brad Bonkoski has been developing software for over 15 years, specializing in internal operations, systems, tools, and automation. Sometimes, this role is loosely referred to as DevOps. He leans more toward the Dev side of this misunderstood buzzword. After building an incident management system and managing change management for Yahoo, Brad became motivated by metrics and now lives by the mantra that what doesn't get measured doesn't get fixed. Today, he greases the wheels of productivity for Shazam.
