January 12, 201313 yr Believe it or not, there is such a thing as over-engineering. A developer has a problem. He decides to solve it with Java; now he has a problemFactory. A developer has a problem. He decides to solve it with threads; two has problems. he now
January 12, 201313 yr Believe it or not, there is such a thing as over-engineering. A developer has a problem. He decides to solve it with Java; now he has a problemFactory. A developer has a problem. He decides to solve it with threads; two has problems. he now I agree that you can over engineer things, but it's also the case that you should put some thought into what you're doing and you should plan for the future as best you can. Not to the point that you cripple yourself and don't get anything done, but certainly a few design principles can go a long way. If you code to abstractions and interfaces, your code is much more likely to be easy to extend in the future. I've found this through personal experience.
January 12, 201313 yr What yo have to remember is that most new members here are at the very beginning of their journey through design/development. Now I'm not saying you sidestep the more complicated paths but I am saying you start at the simple end. No point pushing the straight to OOP when they don't know what a function is.

I agree with you to a point. Unfortunately I only registered today, so for some reason this is the last post I'm able to make until tomorrow...

January 12, 201313 yr I know im probably going to get a mouthful for saying this but i don't think its a real big deal rather people use OOP,Mysqli,PDO or what have you as long as they have an idea of how to keep their site secure. Im personally am self taught and may not be a programming genus like say Jock perhaps but i do enjoy what i do and make it a goal to learn more each and everyday. As long as you keep your code neat,secure and have the good graces to use a comment here or there so you can find your way around i don't see a problem using say mysqli over PDO or say using Procedural over OOP. But i do catch where your coming from
