OOP - The Beginning

 It was suggested that I should start from the Fundamentals of OOP. So for the first time this book in my hand, which I bought almost a year ago from Amazon.com, will be put to use. The title is "Visual Basic 2005: The Language". You'll be surprised that after a year in my bookshelf, it still looks fresh, as if it just got out from the printing press.

Most of the community members suggested i should go for C#, but this book is the most handy reference I could have. I have some ebooks about C#  but my eyes beg for rest from being exposed to the computer monitor. Although I have had some exposure to OOP concepts from my previous C++ class, I think going back to square one will reinforce the tiny concepts I have tucked somewhere.

Lesson 1: Modules, Classes, and Namespaces...

Thanks Lamia for the tip! Can't wait for this book to arrive from the mail. You know what I'm gonna do? I'll drop by Barnes & Noble or any other local bookstore and grab a copy! Awesome!

Yeah, and it's really a good book! It's where I first learned everything and I actually didn't have to buy it because I only had to read a few pages while in the bookstore! XP

But if I get the chance and the budget for it, next time maybe I will grab a copy.

this is valuable reading about OOP, regardless of the programming language you're using:

Design Principles Behind Smalltalk

users.ipa.net/.../design_principles_behind_smalltalk.html

OOP is really about instructing objects to do their jobs, instead of asking objects how they are doing and doing their task by yourself. OOP is all about messaging :)
