For those out there that are accomplished PHP gurus, you know how powerful objects can be in PHP. They have proven themselves in the past to you be helping you tie together large applications and make them work flawlessly. They've shown their stuff in your classes and methods, handling any data you throw at them with ease.

They all end up as these wonderful, complete classes/objects - but where do they start from? How do you create the classes that manipulate those objects to do your bidding? Well, PHPComplete.com has a new article that talks just briefly about the creation of objects/classes, and two different approaches to the same thing.

They give two suggestions in this article - Outside-In, and Precommenting. Both are pretty easy ways to make effective classes and help you get an overall picture of what you want your application to do. Something like this helps your code too, because you have that "map" that shows you where the large pieces go, then the smaller ones just fall into place.
