The purpose of this article is to give a novice programmer the basic idea of what OOP is, as implemented using PHP. Readers should have a basic knowledge of programming ie what variables are, variable types, basic methods of writing comments, and how to enter code into a text editor.

Python, one of the saner languages I have come across. I find I can do a lot of work in Python very quickly, although the efficiency of such results means the quality can only ever be prototype-level. For brainstorming, scripting and testing ideas, Python is unmatched. I hope that bringing Python to the .NET CLR will make it more efficient (compiled to native code at load/run time) and therefore more useful. Python has the potential for fully-blown web and GUI applications.
Personally, I hate syntax, it is a foolish distraction that brings intelligent people to a level of religious blindness. The truth is, semantics is all that is important in a language. Python takes a decent compromise of cut-down syntax, but enough to make code easier to comprehend.
OOP sucks but Python does it well ;-) It should be great for teaching OOP, I imagine.
