One of my favorite books for OO newbies is "Object Technology: A Manager's Guide" which, despite the inclusion of a bad word in the title, is awfully good. The book, by David Taylor, is short and very clearly written.
An amazingly good book, brand new, is "Head First Java" published by O'Reilly. Think "picture book for Java". While it's Java specific, it's very approachable without dumbing down Java and OO. Pretty much anything written by Meilir Page-Jones is wonderful. Meilir is both brilliant and very funny. Here are some good links on basic OO stuff: http://auc.uow.edu.au/conf/conf01/downloads/Wkshop_Framework_for_OO.pdf http://www.breakoutimage.dk/pdf/Technical%20Paper%207.pdf http://gdb.weizmann.ac.il/gdb/objectModel.html#intro Hal Helms "Java for CF Programmers" class in Las Vegas, August 18-22 www.halhelms.com -----Original Message----- From: Scott Weikert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 14, 2003 12:25 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Good News: (was RE: Mach II 1.0 ) At 08:01 AM 8/14/2003 -0400, you wrote: >As far as books go, Discovering CFCs gives a basic intro on OOAD and >CFCs.
