PHP MVC (Clinic Management App)

PHP MVC

Create your own MVC framework with PHP

About the Book

On our way to becoming successful developers, we will come across different tools to get the job done. What we learn today will not necessarily be relevant in a couple of years (maybe less). Such is the nature of the beast.

There are very good reasons to create your own MVC framework:

  1. If we go straight to learning a framework, we can end up seeing any problem only depending on the framework used or preferred.
  2. A framework has a lot of "magic" behind. We use what the framework offers, ignoring how things really work.
  3. We should concentrate first on learning the language, that'll make us betters developers.

So, creating our own PHP framework will not only provide us with a functional and powerfill skeleton to develop robust applications; it will also serve as a learning path, understanding complex topics so in the future, any professional framework you are required to use will make sense.

What you will learn:

  • How to structure applications so your code is robust and manteinable.
  • Design patterns such as Front Controller and MVC.
  • Advanced topics sucha us sessions, dependency injection, routing, class autoloading, etc.
  • You will a develop a complete application using the newly created framework.

It won't be short, but at the end of the road you will have the skills and knwoledge to advance your carreer.
