Dopo il mio debutto con “eZ Publish 4: Enterprise Web Sites Step-by-Step“, del quale siamo nella fase di revisione tecnica, molto presto verrà pubblicato, ecco che ho deciso di buttarmi in una nuova sfida.

Credo che oggi come non mai ci sia interesse verso il valore del software. Io e Jacopo con questo libro cercheremo di spiegarvi come è possibile far crescere il vostro software php senza fallire e perderne valore.

Pro PHP Refactoring with Test-Driven Design

Many businesses and organizations depend on older high-value PHP software that risks abandonment because it is impossible to maintain. The reasons for this may be that the software is not well designed; there is only one developer (the one who created the system) who can develop it because he didn’t use common design patterns and documentation; or the code is procedural, not object oriented. With this book, you’ll learn to identify problem code and refactor it to create more effective applications using test-driven design.

What you’ll learn

• What refactoring is and why you need to refactor code
• What test-driven design is and why you need to test your code
• How to write unit and functional tests with PHPUnit and Selenium Remote Control (RC)
• How to detect “bad smells” in PHP code, and refactor them using test-driven design
• How to refactor a large procedural application affected by many bad smells

Who is this book for?

This book is for PHP developers, businesses, and developers relying on legacy PHP apps.
