Professional PHP Design Patterns

Aaron Saray was introduced to a second-hand Commodore 64, with no persistent storage, when he was 8 years old. This fueled his appetite for computer science which carried him through many different languages and computers. Aaron finally settled on PHP as his language of choice in 2001. From then on, he continued to pepper in various other web languages such as HTML, CSS and JavaScript while continually building on his PHP expertise. Along his career path, Aaron has designed and maintained web site tools for an Internet Service Provider, created web based account management tools for subscribers of a major dental insurance company and led the development efforts of back-office websites for Internet connected Point of Sales systems. After becoming a Zend Certified Engineer, Aaron started his own web development company based around open source software. He continues to release open source software and keeps an updated PHP centric blog at aaronsaray.com.
