PLUG December Meeting Ideas?

[Brendan Curran]

I for one would love a presentation on this topic. Specifically I  
think plenty of people could benefit from this who are entering the  
PHP - OO space from a java or C++ background. Some people out there  
don't even believe PHP has reached OO maturity sufficient for an MVC  
platform. Anyone care to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt?

Regards,
Brendan
