V Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 I've been using procedural code since I started learning PHP. I hear good thinks about OOP but it looks scary. Does OOP function somehow like CSS? If you have experience with OOP, please share an example for us noobs, where you effectively use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinista Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 not that this will help you code OO PHP but the java site has some good explanations of the concepts of OO i found it quite, when i was trying to understand things http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/concepts/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zane Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Does OOP function somehow like CSS? Not at all. OOP is a method of programming that involves using Objects... hence the name Object Oriented Programming. You'd be fooling yourself from the get-go to try and compare it to CSS; even if you could find a correlation, well... best of luck to you. Just as sinista already pointed out, Java is one of the best ways to get your hands dirty with OOP; just because (well, I'm no Java expert) it only uses OOP. The first thing you'll learn in any Java tutorial is how to build the constructor. I don't think I can stress enough that you should definitely dip into Java to get a feel of OOP. Simple because, you don't use procedural code like you can in PHP. By procedural I mean, you simply typing one statement and having a result. Your best bet is to get a Beginner's guide to Java.. familiarize yourself with a compiler (like BlueJ or Netbeans) and go from there. When you actually do get to the point where you believe you understand what OOP is, then maybe you should come back and look at the differences PHP offers as an OOP language.

I know java and javascript are different but I think I used some OOP in js (jquery) without knowing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V Posted August 8, 2010 Author Share Posted August 8, 2010 @jcbones that's a great tutorial! Thanks for the link @zanus I didn't realize that OOP is so involved. I thought it would be like learning how to use PHP functions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
