- Create a program that calculates the area of different types of shapes (Triangles, Circles, Squares, Cubes, etc.) for an even bigger challenge (and if you like the math) maybe find the area for a generic shape with with different side numbers.
- Create a Bank simulator that allows a customer to create an account and either deposit or withdraw money and allow a teller to manage accounts letting him delete and edit the information of customers.
- For fun and if you know mysql, html, css and have PHP knowledge try making an object oriented login and register system.
I know that creating projects is probably not what you want to here but it is the most effective way to not only learn OOP but also better your programming skills.
