Enhance your PHP 7 development skills by learning advanced PHP techniques and most importantly functional programming.

What you’ll learn

Use advanced PHP 7 features such as the Abstract Syntax Tree and Anonymous Classes

Discover when and where to modify PHP 5 to avoid backwards-compatibility breaks

Debug your code and get to know the best practices

Find out about PHP7’s internal closure object to write very powerful higher-order functions

Explore the benefits of writing functionally versus other paradigms

See function evaluation strats in-depth and simulate a lazy invocation

Get an exposure to a completely functional PHP library called PRamda

Requirements

A core understanding of PHP 7

Description

Do you wish to advance your PHP development skills? Do you want to get equipped with the tools and skills required to deliver efficient applications for your websites and enterprises?

PHP 7 offers new features and tools to write optimized code. Functional programming is one such tool. If you’re a PHP developer looking at enhancing your skills by working on over 80 real-world tasks and learning functioning programming, this Learning Path is for you.

Packt’s Video Learning Paths are a series of individual video products put together in a logical and stepwise manner such that each video builds on the skills learned in the video before it.

This Learning Path will start by demonstrating intermediate to advanced PHP techniques. You’ll learn to solve practical, real-world problems faced by PHP developers like yourself every day. You’ll learn new ways of writing PHP code made possible only in version 7. In addition, we discuss backward-compatibility breaks and give you plenty of guidance on when and where PHP 5 code needs to be changed to produce the correct results when running under PHP 7. This course also incorporates the latest PHP 7.x features.

You’ll learn PHP7’s internal closure object, enabling you to write very powerful functions. This Learning Path provides helpful techniques and insights such as lazy function evaluation and currying that facilitate composing functions together.

Finally, you’ll be skilled enough to think about coding problems in terms of the composition of pure functions.

The goal of this course to equip you to perform efficient coding in PHP 7.

This Learning Path is authored by one of the best in the fields.

PHP developers looking at enhancing their programming skills have this Video Learning Path for their learning,The Learning Path starts by taking a task-based approach, with real-world examples that can serve as building blocks for a larger application. Each task is self-contained with no external dependencies. Then, it moves on with an easy-to-follow, from theoretical to practical, approach to bring your applications up to a functional way of thinking. Each step in the course is self-contained.
