Join Konstantin and Mathias in a deep exploration of Value Objects.
This time we’re keeping it very focused on one subject — and we both learned some new ideas from each other in the process! We feel it’s our best episode yet ;–) Topics covered include:
Value Objects, Entities and Identity
Money as an example
Immutability
Encapsulating behaviour along with the Value Object state
Contracts, composition and other OOP features
Casting and parsing from and to Value Objects
Persisting Value Objects with Doctrine or other ORM’s.
In other news, we’ve been working on various additions. We’ve submitted the podcast feed to iTunes, and we are now waiting for Apple to accept it. Please keep sending us your ideas (or pull requests!), so we can improve your experience. We’re both very busy and total podcast noobs, so allow us some time to get the details sorted.
