Web application developers today need to be skilled in a multitude of disciplines. It’s necessary to build an application that is user friendly, highly performant, accessible and secure, all while executing partially in an untrusted environment that you, the developer, have no control over. I speak, of course, about the User Agent. Most commonly seen in the form of a web browser, but in reality, one never really knows what’s on the other end of the HTTP connection.

Is there a decent on-the-fly JS compressor implemented in PHP? The only thing resembling this that I was able to find was Minify, but it's more of a full-blown compression solution with cache and everything.

At this point, you should feel comfortable with the object-oriented programming style. Learning OOP is a great way to take your programming to that next level. When implemented properly, OOP will help you produce easy-to-read, easy-to-maintain, portable code that will save you (and the developers who work with you) hours of extra work. Are you stuck on something that wasn’t covered in this article? Are you already using OOP and have some tips for beginners? Share them in the comments!
