Do you know, I don't even know when my analysis and design methods are
OO and when they are not.

Its just another way of doing things and I let my understanding of the
problem guide me, not a set of arbitrary rules.

I dont use OOP languages, because having read up on them extensively
when they first appeared I simply thought 'oh, ok, I see where they are
coming from' and incorporated a few ideas about how code and data should
be organised in pseudo object form, and moved on. The benefits are in
the way of looking at things, not enforcing a set of strictures on
programming. Especially when many coding problems do not lend themselves
to those strictures.

(and almost all of the problems to which PHP is the natural language of
choice do not benefit from OOP. If a web site is the application each
php 'page' is an object in its own right..anyway. Neither are
microprocessors in the end object oriented. Object orientation stresses
the structure of data, whereas procedural coding stresses the way in
which processing is carried out.)

To people who know nothing, anything is possible.
To people who know too much, it is a sad fact
that they know how little is really possible -
and how hard it is to achieve it.
