Book Description
Thanks to its ease of use, PHP is a highly popular programming language used on over 78% of all web servers connected to the Internet. PHP 8 Programming Tips, Tricks, and Best Practices will help you to get up-to-speed with PHP 8 quickly.
The book is intended for any PHP developer who wants to become familiar with the cool new features available in PHP 8, and covers areas where developers might experience backward compatibility issues with their existing code after a PHP 8 update.
The book thoroughly explores best practices, and highlights ways in which PHP 8 enforces these practices in a much more rigorous fashion than its earlier versions.
You'll start by exploring new PHP 8 features in the area of object-oriented programming (OOP), followed by enhancements at the procedural level. You'll then learn about potential backward compatible breaks and discover best practices for improving performance.
The last chapter of the book gives you insights into PHP async, a revolutionary new way of programming, by providing detailed coverage and examples of asynchronous programming using the Swoole extension and Fibers.
By the end of this PHP book, you'll not only have mastered the new features, but you'll also know exactly what to watch out for when migrating older PHP applications to PHP 8.

Review
"I've known Doug Bierer for many years now. It has been my great privilege to work with him on training new PHP developers and helping existing ones to grow their skills.
I have even had the distinct privilege of butchering the pronunciation of his name many times. Through the years, though, I've come to respect Doug's ability to take technical concepts and put them in a language that just about anyone can understand.
PHP 8 is a huge leap forward. Even as we write about PHP 8.0, PHP 8.1 is in the alpha stages of testing, and the tools and concepts embodied in PHP today are as good as they are in any language built for web development. By purchasing this book, you are taking the first step in being able to harness the power of PHP 8 in your own projects.
When you combine the knowledge, you will gain from this book and Doug's skill at making the concepts understandable and immediately applicable to your problems, you will have lit the fuse on a rocket that will propel your skills and your career to new heights. Strap in and hold on – this is going to be a fun ride!"
