Someone I develop with created a good User class that I've been looking at, and I feel that's a good example of something to use an object for. Other examples that I could look into would be very helpful.
Yeah, MVC. It works really well to model the HTTP protocol: Users make Requests for Resources (aka pages), Collections, and Forms in your Domain. Beyond modeling HTTP, you have helper classes that add a layer of abstraction and convenience to your code: Database, Filesystem, Calendar, Mailbox, Template. Is it worth doing all of this for a one-off personal website? Well yeah, if you've studied oo in great detail, you should have access to some patterns that will make it easy to write the code. But if you don't want to put that much time into it, use one of the many frameworks that have already been suggested, and just see what oo "feels" like in this context. That should be good enough for a resume entry, anyway. -- Chris Snyder http://chxo.com/ _______________________________________________ New York PHP Community Talk Mailing List http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/talk NYPHPCon 2006 Presentations Online http://www.nyphpcon.com Show Your Participation in New York PHP http://www.nyphp.org/show_participation.php
