By PhiQuill Publishing

What You'll Learn in This BookLaminas Fundamentals for Enterprise: Understand the evolution from Zend Framework to Laminas, why it's ideal for enterprise applications (scalability, security, maintainability), and how to set up your development environment, including Docker basics.Mastering Core Laminas Components: Dive deep into essential Laminas components like the Service Manager for dependency injection, Event Manager for event-driven architecture, and InputFilter & Validator for robust data handling.Database Interaction and UI Building: Learn to interact with databases effectively using laminas-db for CRUD operations and advanced querying. You'll also master building user interfaces with laminas-form, including validation, rendering, and security.Internationalization and Caching: Implement global applications with laminas-i18n for translations and localization. Discover effective caching strategies using laminas-cache to boost application performance.Logging, Diagnostics, and Security: Integrate comprehensive logging with laminas-log for monitoring and debugging. Use laminas-diagnostics for application health checks, and secure your applications with laminas-crypt, ACLs, RBAC, and best practices against common vulnerabilities.Building MVC Applications with Laminas MVC: Gain a thorough understanding of the Laminas MVC architecture, including routing, controllers, views, and modular design. Learn to implement robust authentication and authorization within your MVC applications and build a sample enterprise MVC project.Modern PHP with Mezzio (PSR-7 Middleware): Explore the power of PSR-7 and PSR-15 middleware for modern HTTP message handling. Get started with Mezzio, understand its application pipeline, routing, and dependency injection. Learn to integrate templating, handle errors gracefully, and build a sample enterprise API with Mezzio.API Development with Laminas API Tools: Design and implement RESTful APIs using best practices. Learn to leverage Laminas API Tools (formerly Apigility) for creating, versioning, and documenting your APIs. Secure your API endpoints with OAuth2 and explore HAL for discoverable APIs. You'll also learn to consume external APIs.Advanced Enterprise Strategies: Implement asynchronous operations and job queues for background tasks. Master comprehensive testing strategies (unit, integration, functional) with PHPUnit and other tools.Deployment and Optimization: Understand CI/CD pipelines for automated testing and deployment. Learn performance optimization techniques, scaling strategies, and explore microservices architecture using Laminas and Mezzio.Real-World Insights and Resources: Analyze case studies of successful enterprise Laminas applications. Access appendices for migrating from Zend Framework to Laminas, a quick reference for key components, and community resources for continued learning.
