PHP and Object Oriented Programming For Dummies ( OOP TUTORIAL)

I know it's tough to wrap your head around the whole concept of OOP programming if you are new at it.  If you've only learned PHP, you have always been able to get away with out dealing with objects.  However, if you jump into a new language that is object oriented it's like a brand new world that makes zero sense.

I'm making a little tutorial series that does not cover all the details, and doesn't even follow best practices.  It's one and only purpose is to allow someone who isn't familiar with OOP to get an idea how it works.  Enough to be dangerous :)

You can read all about it here and follow along!

Remember - this is NOT best practices.  I barely scratch the surface, and I highly recommend you pick up a good book on the subject.  Sometimes it's better to sit and read and have a solid reference on your desk.  It's also a great idea (a must?) to code something while you learn.  It will give your fingers the muscle memory of the keystrokes you need for structure, and believe it or not that will help you remember the concepts.
