Subject: Re: New to OOP and Abstract Session Pattern

Yeah, I didn't finish my sentence there, d'oh (need a way to edit
mailing list messages).

I personally think that by focusing on what an Object can do and how
it behaves in a system and sort of putting what it stores on the
backburner (until you need to think about it) can help make it easier
to think about programming in an Object Oriented style.
