FuelPHP Application Development Blueprints

Book Description:

FuelPHP is an open source framework that uses some of the most advanced features of PHP to allow you to build projects as easily and quickly as possible. It is gaining popularity with developers as you can build powerful, complex, and yet efficient applications with very little code.

This book will provide you with the skills you need to successfully create, improve, and publish functional and maintainable FuelPHP applications. We will go through a variety of topics such as MVC, ORM, scaffolding, packages, modules, and much more by building applications of increasing complexity. At the beginning of each chapter, we will specify the application we want to build, and then we will progressively implement it by learning new FuelPHP’s features along the way. By the end of the book, you will be familiar with FuelPHP and will be able to implement new projects all by yourself.
