Hi gang:
At the college where I teach, they are considering teaching OOP, but
they don't want to settle on a specific language.
My thoughts are it's difficult to teach OOP without a language --
while the general concepts of OOP are interesting, people need to see
how concepts are applied to understand how they work -- thus I think a
specific language is required
I lean toward C++ because I wrote in it for a few years AND C++
appears to be the most common, widespread, and popular OOP language.
However, while I don't know PHP OOP, I am open to considering it
because of the proliferation of web based applications. My personal
opinion is that's where all programming is headed anyway, but that's
just my opinion.
With that said, what's the differences and advantages/disadvantages
between C++ and PHP OOP?
Cheers,
tedd
IMHO I think that you are right about using a specific language and you
should strongly insist on that. Someone needs to see how objects are
taking flesh and bones in real life and not just theoretically.
You could consider Java as well before taking your final decision.
