PDO

I moved to PDO before mysql_ was depreciated, Working with PDO has made development of custom platforms significantly easier. PDO is secure, faster to use and object orientated  so developers coming from the likes of C/C# will be able to pick it up with ease. All new systems that I’ve worked on have been written using PDO, untill WordPress move their database class over to PDO, I’ve stopped writing plugins that require DB connections.

Since mysql_* was depreciated its phase out from the PHP Library, I’ve spent a lot of time working on converting systems from mysql_* to the PDO library.
