eric is exactly right; design patterns are key; and so is that book ;) -nathan On 7/25/07, Eric Butera <eric.butera@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:

I think that they go hand in hand alonside learning OOP. The reason I say this is because people can talk about encapsulation and polymorphism all day long, but until I see some concrete examples with real world implementations it won't stick in my head. I really enjoy this book: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/hfdesignpat/ It is for Java, but the idea behind patterns is that they are ways of doing things and not syntax. This means that you aren't really tied to any given language because once you know how to build a factory you just implement the best way you can given the structure of the language. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
