Hi,
I do not have an answer to the particular question, and would be
interested in reading that article, too, so please share the web address
if you find it.
My understanding of OOP involves the following points:
* In the context of the application, think of nouns as potential
objects, which would be defined as classes with certain attributes,
defined as either public properties or private fields (variables that
retain configuration values of any data type), and methods, which define
actions that the object is capable of performing.
* The properties are attributes that may be changed by external clients
of the API.
* The fields are attributes of the object that can only be changed by
internal procedures of the API, not accessible to external clients.
* Any time an object could benefit from automatically being informed of
an action by another object, particularly if it includes a change of one
of its own properties by an external client, a method of that object may
be automatically be triggered in response to that action, which is also
called an event handler method.
Personally, I think the best way to learn most programming concepts is
to try to implement them in a project of personal interest, usually one
of direct, practical significance, or at least, passionate, principled
interest. Keep asking questions until you find the answers to implement
that project of personal significance. In my opinion, without the real
application of knowledge, little conceptual understanding is actually
gained.
Best,
Jamal

Hi,
I used to have a bookmark that lead to something that told me how to
take a description of what you want a piece of software to do and decide
the objects, methods, and behaviors it would have. Does anyone have
links to this kind of thing?
Thanks.
