When is using OOP best?

[jeofoyster]

Hey all - here's a general question.

When is it best to use a class? What are the criteria for using OOP over, say, a series of includes with functions and such? This may be a general opinion question or maybe there's a standard? Any good articles on the applicatio of OOP out there?

A: None. You just send a change bulb message to the socket object!
