I was the Technical Reviewer on this book. It is focused on PHP 7, the latest version of PHP most likely the version with the highest performance.The book is clearly written, full of real examples that help the reader to understand the dynamics of the web. Also in the book it is included some fundamental Design Patterns for each developer.I recommend to read it.

Super reference for php 7.x

Shawn Flock Apr 18, 2017

Great book if you start on page 53. The beginning is a tad bit confusing. But if you pick and chose what you want to learn about or start at chapter 3 it is phenomenal. Straight, to the point, with lots and lots of information.

I've known Doug for long time and I was happy to have had the opportunityto review his last PHP book especially because it is focused on PHP7, oneof PHP version with the most impressive performance increase of ever and alot of brand new nice features.I liked so much the pragmatic approach of the book and the "learn byexample" style of all chapters, because it allows to understand immediatelynot only why a feature was introduced but also how to use it efficiently inreal and common problems of a developer life.Among all, I've appreciated mainly chapters about common advancedalgorithms and most used design patterns, both explained very well andsimple.Definitely recommended!
