PHP: Design Patterns

- Hi everybody. I'm Keith Casey and this is Design Patterns in PHP. In this course we'll go over the top 10 or so design patterns. What problems they solve, what problems they don't solve and how to actually implement them in real live code. Throughout this course we'll use a number of frameworks that demonstrate the concepts. Many of the frameworks share the identical concepts these just happened to be the ones I chose. First we'll take a look at active record and table data gateway patterns to use our databases more easily. Then we'll dive into adapter, decorator, and the strategy patterns to learn to bend code to our will.

Of course we'll talk about factory, singleton, and mock-object patterns to create objects that fit our needs. And finally we'll cover some architectural patterns like MEC and action domain responder to better structure our applications. So lets get down to business and learn about design patterns in PHP.
