From: N Okia Date: 2006-07-27T04:55:47+09:00 Subject: Re: OO Paradigm and Ruby Exercises for a Beginner Don't worry, one of the challenges of learning OO is 'getting it.' I always thought it was harder for us old timers who learned non-OO programming first. Some people say that OO is a mindset, but once you get it, it is a pretty natural way to think. Afterall, the world is full of 'objects.' http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/concepts/object.html has a good tutorial on understanding objects at Sun. http://www.aonaware.com/OOP1.htm has an interesting tutorial on object oriented programming, that does a pretty good job of describing what objects and classes are.
