With a release from their latest branch of publishing, the folks over at php|architect are happy to announce the release of Jason Sweat's php|architect's Guide to Design Patterns.

We're happy to announce php|architect's Guide to Design Patterns, the latest book in our php|architect NanoBook series.

Written by Jason Sweat, this great book analyzes and discusses over 15 different object-oriented design patterns as seen from the point of view of a PHP developer. The book covers both versions 4 and 5 of the language, and is built on a solid foundation of proper OOP, unit testing and agile development.

If you've always wondered what design patterns are all about and how they can revolutionize your coding experience, this book is for you--Jason's style is clear and elegant, and the quality is the same one you've come to expect from php|architect.
