Really Easy to follow Object Oriented PHP tutorials for beginners

There are 3 kind of object oriented PHP tutorials on the web, first using real world example, second is the analogy examples and third are the video tutorials.

I myself prefer the real world tutorial as i have problem learning from the abstract analogy given by some of these tutorials.Doesn’t stop me from listing them all in case someone prefers the latter.

Real world example

Real-World OOP With PHP and MySQL

A real OOP example that you can actually use in your project.Pretty easy to understand because the sample is about connecting to the database, something that any php developer would have done 100 times :D

Building your first simple CMS using Object Oriented PHP

This follows the same approach as above link, but for me this tutorial is easier to understand! maybe because it has pictures :D.

The Analogy

The car analogy

bite size easy to digest tutorial

The bear analogy

please bear with it as its explains the OOP using a family of bear :).

Video Tutorials

Thanks for putting this together. OOP is so important, but I find it hard to understand sometimes. Since I’m still learning, I use a lot of cheat sheets. I always have my iPhone with me, so I keep them there for handy reference - even offline. The best PHP cheat sheet I’ve found so far is from these guys:

They also have great cheat sheets for CSS and Javascript. Hope this is helpful.
