OOP in a real Web application project course?

I really think Object-Oriented PHP Basic is a great series for beginnings, and I think Hampton does a great job with it. However, I would like to see if Team Tree House would create a course using OOP in a real project for web application development whether it is PHP, JavaScript, Ruby and so on. I'm probably speaking for a lot of people/students that all we see is a typical OOP course with basic examples like Animal, People classes that are not applied to a real scenario/project. It is easy to understand the concepts of OOP, but it is much different when we need to apply it to a real world web application project. I'll puke my eyes out if I see another Animal, Car, and Person class examples. A web application project with OOP instead of procedural will definitely help a lot of us who wants to take it to the next level. By all means, I'm not "putting down" Team Tree House, and I think Team Tree House is a wonderful place to learn technologies, and I love it.

Treehouse is awesome, that's why I'm still here, but as much as they can try they can't really cover everything.

Ah...PHPAcademy! LOL Those are some great PHP tutorials on youtube. I know it is pretty broad, but I wanted to see if Team Tree House will be cooking something in the future. I would like to see a real life project; that is all. I'm pretty sure it will help a lot of people in here too. I work with OOP everyday and not afraid of working with it, but sometimes I feel like I missing something...not sure what LOL

Yes, sometimes I feel the same. I think it's totally normal when you are on this learning path.

Hi Paolo Scamardella I agree with you. I'll be good if TeamTreeHouse will release more about OOP with website example. I'll wait and in the same time I going to check "phpacademy" (Thx Emmanuel Salom)

This course is a small project using OOP with many of the common tools used in a "real" project. I hope this helps: http://teamtreehouse.com/library/building-websites-with-php

We will also be adding more in the future, so stay tuned :)

Welcome! :D

Is there a way we could know whats planned for PHP courses as well as for OOP maybe ? :D and im not sure, but some updates as well for laraver 5 ? if thats any difference.

And could i ask, what do you think about PHP vs Rails? I mean PHP has WordPress side as well, which is very popular and working , but other than that, would Rails overtake PHP ? since it seem that Rails do everything a lot faster .

And, if making a tutorial, could it be something with some real life project? the OOP tutorial thats here, its kind of out of the subject talking about fishes if i remember well : p and or even a small workshop how to get around OOP with login and all that stuff .
