I've been using PHP for a few years now and I'm quite familiar and
comfortable with it.
I'd like to start to seriously do some OOP coding and "take things to
the next level". But as I understand it, PHP5 is going to make quite a
few changes/improvements to PHP4's current handling of OOP.
Given that the PHP5 beta has been out for approx. 1 month, do you think
it makes sense to try to get into OOP with PHP4 right now when things
could change in a fairly short while (not sure how long it'll be until
PHP5 is released) and then have to re-learn certain aspects of OOP after
getting comfortable with it? Or do you think that the change from 4 to 5
won't really be that big of a deal?
I know that many people ask OOP-related questions a lot on the board,
but I was just wondering what everyone thought of the jump from 4 to 5
and about trying to start learning OOP *right now*.
Thanks
