Step By Step Li3

Step By Step Li3

PHP web apps - One thing at a time!

About the Book

This book takes you, step-by-step, through building a complete, working PHP web application using the powerful Li3 framework (formerly known as Lithium). We'll cover all sorts of cool stuff, including:

  • What IS Li3?
  • MVC architecture
  • Database access
  • Validation
  • Testing
  • Coding standards
  • Logging
  • Filters
  • User access control
  • Error handling
  • Performance analysis
  • Helpers
  • Code reuse
  • Best practises
  • Where to get help
  • Getting involved with the Li3 community

Pretty much everything you need to build your own Li3 applications!

If tech books normally give you a headache with seemingly endless chapters, don't worry - all the chapters in Step-by-step Li3 are fairly short and digestible! Chapters should obey the Single Responsibility Principle as far as possible - that's what I think, anyway!

Buying this book supports my writing and I intend to keep adding to this book as time goes on!

You can also read the book online for free - buying the ebook helps to support me to write future chapters though so please do consider buying :-)
