The only reason I feel the need to expand my understanding is that I have to learn other concepts to produce my client's solutions. For instance I am now being asked to use SOAP to communicate with a vendor of his. Now I am reading about SOAP and frequently the descriptions rely on the reader's understanding of OOP. I can individually scrutinize a description and break it down to its elements. Then I can picture what is being said, but without having used those methods in my code, it is frustrating reading. I don't know that SOAP is in and of itself OOP but people that write about it use OOP based consepts to exlain what is happening. And this is one example. Don't let me go into the Java and Javascript world!

I hope this makes sense and I'm not alone on this. :) My only suggestion is that you re-consider why you want to take up OOP. If a procedural approach works for you, go with it. It's not like we're building air traffic control systems here ;) Kirk -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
