Hi, I'm a PHP programmer and I really want to increase the quality of my code and most importantly I want to be better at programming.

What book, tutorial or article would you guys suggest that I read that teaches how to make programs that are less coupled and easy to maintain? Are there any specific tips for PHP especially for the CakePHP framework?

Thanks in advance!
