title: PHP, Value Objects and You

Last week, I wrote about [giving things descriptive names][0] with value objects in PHP (and other languages).

I gave examples of value objects I've recently written to show how they make code descriptive and easier to understand.

Previous [Beyond Blocks podcast guest][1], Dan Leech, gave a great talk about value objects at a local PHP user group.

That talk is not online yet, but the video of the version from the [Dutch PHP Conference][2] has just been released.

The slides are also online on Dan's website.

I recommend watching the video and/or reviewing the slides, and start trying to use value objects in your code.
