What Is This Book AboutChapter 1 covers the fundamentals of the object-oriented programming: encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism. We will discuss the purpose of abstraction and inheritance, and why you should avoid using inheritance for code reuse. This chapter also covers such language specific features as traits and closures and their role in the object-oriented code. And at the end of the chapter, I will introduce such a powerful tool as Dep...

REST is the most widespread and effective standard to develop APIs for internet services. When building RESTful services, it is really important to choose the right framework. If you are a PHP developer and performance is critical for you, ReactPHP with its asynchronous, event-driven architecture, is exactly the right choice for building RESTful APIs. This book explains in detail how to create your own RESTful API in asynchronous PHP that can be consumed by other users in your organization...

The main purpose of this book is to get you started with developing asynchronous applications in PHP. I will show you that PHP is much more than run the script, execute some code and die. You will be amazed by the way your familiar PHP language can be used! The asynchronous model will definitely expand the way you think about PHP.In fact, there is no need to learn a new language when you need to write some asynchronous stuff just because someone blames PHP that it is not a right to...

Много всего изменилось с тех пор как PHP использоваться только для отрисовки веб-страниц. Сейчас PHP это уже гораздо больше чем простой скрипт, который используется для отрисовки веб-страницы в рамках цикла запрос-ответ. Событийно-ориентированная архитектура и асинхронная обработка ввода-вывода в реальном времени позволяют создавать целую категорию новых приложений. Данная книга охватывает всё, что вам нужно знать для создания асинхронных приложений на ReactPHP. Мы начнём с самых основ так...

A lot has changed since PHP was used only for rendering web-pages. Now PHP is something more than a simple script, which is used to render a web page in a request-response cycle. The event-driven architecture and asynchronous I/O processing of any number of streams in real time allow you to build a whole new category of applications. This book covers everything you should know about creating asynchronous applications in ReactPHP. We start with the basics, such as an event loop, timers, and...
