Explica con palabras sencillas los conceptos de programacion orientada a objetos (POO) y como aplicarlos en PHP, sin embargo pienso que el autor aveces se extiende demasiado para explicar sus ideas y no concreta del todo. El libro es ideal para unir el concepto de POO y PHP, mas no para aplicarlo, no es un libro para ejercitar.
Explains in simple words the concepts of object oriented programming (OOP) and how to apply them in PHP, however I think that he sometimes stretches too much to explain his ideas and not specific at all. The book is ideal for combining the concept of OOP and PHP, but not to implement it, is not a book for exercise.

just want to echo a comment made by other reviewers, which is that this is an exceptionally well-written book (measured by the standards of typical computer programming books). it is a pleasure to read, with very few grammatical or spelling mistakes. if only such a thing were common enough to not warrant such praise…

This is a very advanced book on PHP. It assumes a solid understanding of object-oriented PHP programming, although it does offer a basic review of OOP practices. The discussion on patterns is in-depth and explanatory but the pace of this book is very fast. Be sure to follow along and do the exercises on your own server or it won't sink in as well. I'd also suggest a study-group with others studying fromt he same book, as if it were a college CS class.

This is a really great book for advanced developers who whant learn abount php5 OOP technique; it explain very well how objects work and how to use the most famous patterns but it fails in third section: "The Practice".
CVS, PHPDoc and Phing, for me, are not enought for a good "Practice".
The entire book use too much simplistic examples, and so, is very difficult, for a beginner, to use all book concepts in real world.
I hope that in the next edition, Matt will fill this gap.

I have experience in a variety of object oriented (OO) languages, but not PHP. This book has helped me understand how PHP supports objects and some of the typical design patterns you will see in OO PHP.
Although it is written with PPH5, it even covers some aspects of OO in PHP4.
It is easy to read, interesting and contains good code examples.
This isn't a PHP Beginners book, although I'm not fully familiar with PHP and haven't had a hard time reading this book, probably because of my OO background and basic PHP knowledge. Still, if you just need a PHP beginners book, this isn't the one.
It is a great book if you want to learn OO PHP or even just some OO principles in general. Very glad I picked this book up.
