Well, after many years of programming procedural scripts, i moved onto OOP programming around a year and a half ago. From then on, Procedural scripts are only ever extremely short scripts, and even then usually open OOP classes from within them.

OOP programming is my choice, and if you are starting to learn then i would recommend you start straight with OOP rather than procedural, its extremely hard to get used to a change especially when you have been doing procedural for a few years believe me!
