Not necessarily - it could even be better to buy a book that contains the OO paradigmas independent from any programming language. The details of the language (or the focus on implementation) could eventually hide the big picture. [...] > Plus, a non-perl object book will really lead a newbie out of the promised > land - fast.

[...] In my opinion, OOP is much nearer to the usual view or abstraction of the world. Some kinds of abstraction (most, I think) are analogue in reality and in OOP. Think of generalization, specialization, active stateful entities, resolving big problems by splitting them into smaller ones... It's like in math: you can partition a big calculation and have a *local* look into the parts. etc. (sorry for my english) > Suddenly it clicked and off I went.
