anti-patterns

Hi,

Is sequential coupling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequential_coupling) really a bad thing in code?

Although it's an anti-pattern, the only risk I see is calling methods in the wrong order but documentation of an API/class library with this anti-pattern should take care of that. What other problems are there from code which is sequential? Also, this pattern could easily be fixed by using a facade it seems.

Thanks

Do you need a good background in OOP before moving to frameworks?

Frameworks being all OOP, would it not be wise to go into frameworks without having a solid background in OOP? I can write basic classes but nothing too fancy or abstract. How much should I know of OOP before moving to frameworks? Right now I am PHP Object-Oriented Programming to learn OOP. >>> More
