As a developer with over 20 years’ experience in PHP, I tend to read technical guides with critical eye. The authors seem to have a firm grasp of all facets of the development process, and error on side of being overly thorough, to ensure all readers understand the concepts upon which a clean code foundation is built. With many practical examples and specific direction on how to implement the principles described, this book would be very helpful if you want to either up your game as a developer, want to ensure that you are covering all points with your own process, or are looking for a resource to support your coaching and mentoring of your team.

This book will not teach you how to code, but how to think about what you code, which is at least as important. If you are new to programming, you need this information as much as the more common "code examples" books out there.The first part of the book explains the mindset needed to write code that not only functions in a computer, but is readily understood by other humans. Their time is more valuable than server time. While there are a few code examples expressing important points, the book excels at explaining and encouraging "best practices:" What they are, and why they are.The second part of the book provides continued guidance for actually implementing these ideas in practical ways with general directions for installing and configuring popular tools for making the production of clean code simpler and more streamlined, as well as evaluating the quality of your code.If you're new to programming (<3 years) this book is a must. Not just for you, but for your colleagues, present and future. They'll be glad you read it. If you've been programming longer than that, they should be preaching to choir, but you'll more than likely gain valuable insight into the whys and wherefores of what you're (hopefully) doing already, and may pick up a few additional pointers on tooling.

As a long-time PHP programmer (since version 4) that's always on the lookout to improve his craft, I get excited to see the tool of my trade is still being written about.To expand on the answer to the titular question, I'd like to offer some insight into the contents of the book. Wasn't everything already covered in other books from a plethora of publishers that came out in the last two decades? Is there something more to be said about PHP, more than 20 years after its initial release? Certainly!PHP was created as a practical, easy-to-use language. It always had an extremely low barrier to entry and that was one of the biggest reasons it gained popularity and adoption in such large numbers. Naturally, many introductory and reference books followed, to ride the way of popularity and help people get on board even quicker.As the language progressed (and the community along with it) and matured, everybody adopted a different style and an opinion on how to use the language in a clean, concise, and collaboratively acceptable manner. Unfortunately, resources and literature on those learnings didn't follow suit. That created a void that Windler and Daubois are addressing with this book.By building upon industry standards and already accepted good practices, authors have created a book that puts you, as a PHP programmer, in the driver's seat - navigating you and giving you advice on how to do it the right way.To write clean, and, as the front page says, human-friendly code in today's world, one needs more than just a knowledge of PHP's syntax. That's where this book excels. It will give you not just an overview, but also an explanation and how-to on many things built around the language.You'll learn about code quality and metrics (and the tools), tests, and what I enjoyed the most - working in a team and writing effective documentation.PHP is alive and well, and publications like this one are proof that it will stay so for the time to come. If you're just starting out or if you're a PHP veteran, there are things here that'll help you level up your game!

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
