I've been wanting to learn OOP for quite some time and I've got a book that covers a little of it but I'm a little too impatient for reading and this is exactly what I've been looking for! Thank you so much!

@JREAMdesign

Hey friend;

Thank you for the fantastic videos. I have a question I'd really appreciate if you clarify.

Would you please give us some sort of calibration? By calibration I mean measuring how far we are in the whole concept of OOP. By end of video 20 for example. If the size of the program is specified, it makes it much easier to focus on each video and make a long term plan for studying these.

One more time, these videos are absolutely fabulous. Please keep recording.

[JREAMdesign]

@puaflatmates Videos 1-20 is a decent introduction into OOP. Practice is more important than anything. It will cover a lot of stuff - If you can get most of the stuff in your head, itll take months to see good places to use it

[puaflatmates]

Hey man, thanks for the video;

I have been using your style and I get reutls. BUt sometimes I know its a tiny thing, for some reason the funtions do not return anything.

It could be a comma or something stupid:

What am I doing wrong here?

Functions check or error do not return anything!

Thanks dude

What Linux distro are you using?

[JREAMdesign]

@MrGeekifiy CentOS for webserver -- But in this video I am on Windows XP with a clearlooks theme

thank you

[circletowers]

awesome....

[HawxTeamDelta]

awesome

[zane757]

Is it better to learn this or pythion first?

[JREAMdesign]

@zane757 It depends what you want to do. Both of them are very good, but python is easier.

[zane757]

@JREAMdesign Ok Thanks and keep the great tutorials coming. :)

[mukeshkumarojha]

Hey Guyz!!

Could someone please tell me how to download and install the smarty from Scratch. I am newbie for smarty and heard a lot about that framework. I tried to follow the steps which was given at the smarty site, but i could not install that.

I will be really thankful to you, if anyone could give any video tutorial or a complete set of steps. I have OS as Windows-7 64 bit as well as on my another notebook I have Vista-32 bit

[JREAMdesign]

@mukeshkumarojha I made a tutorial here @ watch?v=5xLfvY8upsQ

[biblecollegestudent1]

I really enjoyed this introduction to OOP. I liked it enough to subscribe. Keep the vids coming man!

[aardmaat]

OK, thanks :)

like your tutorials by the way

[aardmaat]

I always get to hear oop is best and stuff, but I'd like to get some simple examples:

when should I use it, and how exactly will it make things easier for me?

[JREAMdesign]

@aardmaat You can make objects that do certain things (Database, Validation, Emailing, Uploading, etc), and everything is much less code to type after the library objects are created. Then if you want to build another application, you just drag all your libraries into another project, and use them again. Or you can just re-use a few. So rather than settings up a database connection all the time, you just say $db->connect('where'); and start coding. It also organizes your code much better.

[ziGGie007100]

@aardmaat using oops makes your code clean tidy and secure. You can use classes anywhere you wish without having to write a new procedure.

[sondano]

what I can't get used to is that damn arrow. Stupidest syntax of all programming languages really. Always want to use dot. Otherwise nice video

[JREAMdesign]

@sondano Yeah it is different from every other language, I've heard a lot of people complain about it -- It's hard when PHP is not your first language. Going from PHP to JavaScript is confusing too, in JavaScript one thing I ALWAYS mess up is string.length -- there are no () parenthesis for the .length, little annoying stuff :P

[JragonLtd]

I have one thing to say to ye, yer awesome!!!

Also I love the name

Jream, Dream... Jragon, Dragon...

[JREAMdesign]

@JragonLtd haha Jragon is pretty cool name!!!!

[ignas2526]

I prefer procedural over object orientation, because it is more logical for programming - the way computer works. In PHP procedural style is faster than OO, and PHP OO actually is quite dangerous, because PHP creators constantly change critical things in OO, breaking the code. And all hierarchy and extending can be achieved in procedural style by pre-processing, using functions, and eval, so procedural ftw!

[JREAMdesign]

@ignas2526 They are always improving OO -- PHP4 had some lousy OO in my opinion, not PHP5 is more OO like Java. Namespaces in 5.3 area great addition too. Procedural is nice, but it will severely limit you in the long run if you never use Objects, they just get things done faster.

[ignas2526]

@JREAMdesign never got into a procedural coding style limit, but I already feel how PHP limits me.

[TernaryTony]

I'm a procedural php kind of guy, but I don't see why I shouldn't give OOPHP a try.

[JREAMdesign]

@TernaryTony Beleive me when you get into OOP you'll pull out some hair, but in the long run you will be VERY GLAD you got into it!
