Instead, I'm going to further the analysis of PHP Design Patterns with a case study.
This particular case study will be broken up into several parts as the book introduction says. First, in this chapter, I'll examine the requirements. I'll try to rule out any assumptions and ask any other questions I can of the stakeholders of this case study. Chapter 21 will be the analysis of the features compared to what Design Patterns that were detailed in the reference chapters. The final chapters (Chapter 22 and 23) will cover the code creation, using the Design Patterns and Unified Modeling Language (UML) diagrams that I developed.
