Is Joomla a good model to learn elegant OOP coding practices?
Posted: Thu Nov 08, 2007 10:09 pm
I've been coding in PHP/MySQL for about three years, and I must admit that my coding practices are amateurish. I've almost completed a rather large project that is similar in many ways to a content management system, but the code is so complex that now, when I want to add a feature, I get lost in my own code!! It sometimes takes me days to accomplsh something that I know should take hours.
Clearly, I need to start all over and recode using a much better approach, so my thought is - find a good project of professionally designed OOP code to study, and learn good technique from that. Would Joomla provide that model of code for me? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
