Up until recently I have avoided learning OOP. I have had no real drive or need to. In fact, most of the code I worked on seemed pretty procedural and so OOP was never actually on the table. However, I have now started my venture in OOP and am beginning to like what I see. Certainly one of the advantages I have noticed is how modular and portable it can make the code. Having written one class in a file, I merely need to import the file from within another application to reap the benefits of the previous hard work. The code is self-contained and only relates to the class. This led me to think about testing classes.

However, for me, as someone who codes with PHP, I feel writing a weblog is something of a milestone in PHP development and one I had never undertaken. 2010 is the year to change that!
