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,

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.

Especially since PHP is trying to be Java. :)
take a wild guess as to what I'm going to day.. java is v good language
to learn OO specific principals and I'd strongly recommend it - while I
may get more done with php oo practically, I learn and undertand a lot
more with java.
regards!
