can you summarize OO for me in 64 words or less?
ninjaa: The best thing about OO in app development is that it lets you abstract the main routines of your program into what is effectively business logic. For example," 
$customer = new cp_customer();
	$customer->add($customer_form_data);
	/* Customer_Info => Customer_Storefront*/
	$customer->link_to_storefront($SID);"Earlier this was a garbled mess, full of functions like 
custID = addCustomer(form_info)
updateAddress(custID, "Billing", some_args) and so on ...On the flip side, OOP is trickier (b/c of encapsulation) to debug esp when object model gets complicated. In terms of programming the only way to do it better (and this is frankly v debatable, esp when you consider management of DB connections and API administration etc) is "LISP style", where you effectively concoct a DSL for your specific app.
