Can do procedural PHP, want to do JavaScript, need to do OOP PHP first?
Here's a bit of a twist on the old ***which do I learn first*** question you've read a million times before...

I began learning PHP last fall and feel I have become fairly competent in **procedural** PHP programming.

As my site - the driving reason for these studies - has developed I've reached a point where learning OOP PHP would make for cleaner code and tighter organization on the **admin** side, but would not allow me to add significant functionality to the **user** side. *(This has more to do with the site design and goals than with any particulars of OOP PHP.)*

**BUT,** beginning to learn Javascript would open up a whole slew of optional improvements I could make (in time) to the site from the ***user's*** perspective.

Before recommending that I ***learn both together***, please understand that I'm an expat struggling through a lower management position and at best can spare 4 hours a week to this endeavor. Programming is a passionate hobby, but good blocks of time are hard to find.

So:

Proc PHP `->` OOP PHP `->` JavaScript ?

or

Proc PHP `->` JavaScript `->` (maybe later) OOP PHP ?
