A good start point about Object Oriented Programmation (OOP) and drupal is this document from the drupal API
http://api.drupal.org/api/HEAD/file/developer/topics/oop.html
This group aims to put together some useful references about Object Oriented programmation and modelization with drupal. Sometimes drupalers have great discussion about OOP , for example on their blog or during conferences, and we try to report them in this group.
So whereas you are a simple observator like the manager of this group, an OOP guru or a drupal guru or just a curious person you are encourage to join this group.
Why is this so difficult? How to display a menu in a template file?
Is someone willing to make a definitive writeup of this? If you want to sit down and work together on this just let me know, and I'll help where I can.
I see so many parts of code snippets, and comments that it worked as well as comments that it didn't work, that I can't make heads or tails out of how it is supposed to be done.
Please if you post something try to be as clear and complete as possible so that people can understand, or maybe it is just me?

Movico: Timetracker module
I am working on a module for an NGO that does basic time tracking for projects. Initially I am doing this for D7 and then back porting it to D6 because it needs to be Open Atrium compatible.
The module is based on the Movico (MVC and OOP) style of creating modules for Drupal. I am finding that this makes Drupal more RAD friendly. Also since this is working code it shows the practically of the Movico methods and is allowing me to straighten out any kinks in the scaffolding.

Read moreQuickstart 0.8 released
Hello,
For your coding pleasure, we present: Quickstart 0.8 (bittorrent link).
Quickstart is a downloadable virtual machine, containing a pre-configured Ubuntu Linux PHP development environment. Develop and debug LAMP natively, on any computer, without hassle.
QS 0.8 includes updates and bug fixes to QS 0.7. If you're already using QS 0.7, below is a script that will make the bug fixes.
QS 0.8 was also used to make the HOWTO videos on the Quickstart YouTube channel: step debugging, performance profiling, simple email debugging, etc.
What's next for the project? Not quite sure, but I'd love some feedback on how it's being used, and what features or HOWTO videos would be useful.
I hope you find it useful, and thanks for whatever you do for open source,
Mike

Building modules for Drupal using MVC and OOP
I just spent the last day or so working on a scaffolding module that lets developers build a Model-View-Controller application as a module in Drupal 6. The code and ideas are still in beta stages but working beautifully. This is the fleshing out of ideas that came about under development of Drupal websites.

Porting to OO
Hi,
Recently I switched from joomla to Drupal. As an OO-lover, I do miss the OO-concept in Drupal. I loved it in Joomla, but there it was really complicated and it was a hell of job to find something.
Since the scripting of Drupal is not so complicated, why not port it to OO? Let's find a compromise between the java-way of OO and a less complicated way of OO. More flat.
I have seen what is said about Drupal NOT even thinking of translating to OO. But there are also people who would really like to see an OO version of Drupal.

OOP Module
I just released a module that lets developers use classes for extending modules, themes, and node types. I thought the folks in this group might be interested in taking a look at it. I'd love to get feedback on it. There's no real documentation for it, and the readme file is pretty thin. Please let me know if there's interest in using this discussion for flushing out the use cases, design approach, potential problems, ideas for improvement, etc.

In the Drupal we can see there are sevaral anti patterns , when we plug a themes we can see there are unwanted code we are working in theme.tpl file so the "Old Baggage" can be found (I don't know whether I'm walking on wrong or right way). Let us discuss about the anti patterns found in Drupal.
