Learning OOP formally

Winston · December 8, 2003

Well this is to the experienced developers, i just want a opinion on your thoughts on how i should go about it, i have did a bit of vb6 and a bit of vb.net but i really know bits and pieces etc, im bad with the jargon like if u asked me about a class or enumeration or wateva ill go crossed eyes, but i just wanna know whats the grounding i should have or better yet what i should read up on to help me, because i'm probably not getting the whole concept of OOP, and like when you guys point me to an MSDN article or tutorial i never get what it's saying because it's so technical for me that is, but i wanna learn it from the ground so i can actually pick up on the places where i really missed. Thanks guys :)

If you are looking for some kind of books if you don't like tutorials, then the best thing to do would be maybe go to amazon.com and search their books for the term OOP. It will come up with quite a few books, one is from MS Press and it talks about OOP in VB.NET and C#, could be good.

I have purchased a book already cost me a fortune lol! well for me because i'm povo, i got this VB.NET Bible book quite thick. But i was just wondering if there's like a tutorial or a standard layout of the rules of OOP, if there are because it seems like all you experienced programmers, whether if you have tocuhed a certain aspect in programming like you suddenly had to learn about XML or something, you seem to pick up easily by reading online tuts, i don't because i don't get what it means or how they say it, because i'm thinking that knowing the rules of OOP will entitle me to actually understand how to approach things easily and actually understand what MSDN tuts are going on about.
