Although I hate to say it, C#.Net is probably the best way to learn
OOP at the moment, as it pretty much forces you to write code in
the .Net way.
Personally, I couldn't get on with it at all. You needed 20 lines of
code where PHP requires just one. But, all the accomplished .Net
programmers I've worked with say it's the best thing since sliced
bread.
As far as professional certificates go, a lot of people seem to go for
the Zend courses, but I'm not sure if you can do them from home.
Rob.
