This is the perfect gift for the PHP or web programmer in your life! They'll laugh for hours and hours at the in-jokes, translating well-known children's nursery rhymes into programming principles they know and... well, probably know and hate. Give them the gift of beautifully coded and crafted humour! Every programmer knows the dread of taking over someone else's program code, whether it's a 20-year old legacy system, a simple data script that cascades into unexplained chaos, and most have thought, This is just like Humpty Dumpty but with more fatal execution faults and less error handling. This book is for them! Look inside and you'll find:
- Humpty Dumpty treated as an unhandled exception
- The Grand Old Duke of York turned into pointlessly inefficient code
- Old MacDonald's Farm as a scalable, object-oriented structure of polymorphism
- There's a Hole in My Bucket's circular dependency leading to a stack overflow
- The Crooked Man using PHP traits in a tribute to the DRY principle
- Wee Willie Winkie as a nightly cron job for Child objects
- The Queen of Hearts as a class that returns Tarts objects
- Baa Baa Black Sheep refactored as a wool distribution script
- Little Bo Peep's object oriented passive recovery protocol
- Ten in a Bed's while loop with a fixed termination point Join veteran programmer and author Peter J Clark on this always-hilarious and deeply nerdy journey back to everyone's childhood. With a witty, incisive humour that only a true coder can appreciate, Clark transforms simple verses into a masterclasses of over-engineered, object-oriented absurdity. Ditch the boring gifts and give them a pull request they'll actually enjoy merging into their library!
