Build seven good object-oriented habits in PHP
In the early days of PHP programming, PHP code was limited to being procedural in nature. Procedural code is characterized by the use of procedures for the building blocks of the application. Procedures offer a certain level of reuse by allowing procedures to be called by other procedures. However, without object-oriented language constructs, a programmer can still introduce OO characteristics into PHP code. It's a tad more difficult and can make the code more difficult to read because it's mixing paradigms (procedural language with pseudo-OO design).Practical PHP Programming

Consider how today's world differs from the world of just 20 years ago. Long ago, in the 1980s, encryption was spy stuff -- something you read about in a techno-thriller by Tom Clancy. If somebody wanted to keep a bit of information private, he encrypted the data with a password, a pass phrase, or another basic method. Fast-forward to today and encryption is everywhere.Posted by blake on Jun 4, 2008 in Code , Performance , PHP | 166 comments The last couple of weeks have been quite the experience for me. I was part of a big layoff at my former company, which was interesting. I've never been in that position before, and it's hard not to take it personally. I started watching the job boards, and a nice-looking full-time PHP position caught my eye, so I sent out a resume and landed an interview. Before the face-to-face portion, I chatted with the owner and head programmer on a conference call, and they ended up sending me a technical assessment quiz.
