We are currently looking at using a FreeEnergy inspired architecture for our own retail site. Michael, could you explain a bit more about your decision to take a pure OOP approach as against Leon Atkinson's procedural system? Given the limitations of OOP in PHP we would be looking for some pretty concrete practical benefits if we were going to go OOP throughout. How has it worked out for you, in terms of development time, maintainability and operational efficiency. Also, any more hints about how you have structured this would be appreciated Thanks Geoff Caplan British Goldsmiths
