I guess I just do not have a natural OOP/OOD/OOA type mind.  I get a basic 
object and its purpose to encapsulate data and functionality.  But as soon as I 
try to start putting objects together to build a system, I quickly get lost in 
a quagmire.  This usually results in my falling back to my procedural 
experience, peppered with a small object or two, to get the current task done 
by my deadline.

So can anybody point out a good resource or ten on how to actually program with 
object and patterns.  Everything I have found to date seems to be geared on 
selling the why one should program this way and are very light on the how one 
actually writes the code.

Conversely, if I can pick the minds of this group, maybe somebody can give me 
some pointers on how one would solve a common web requirement with 
objects/cfcs.  This would be a basic admin task of showing a list of items 
allowing for the adding and editing of these items with data validation and the 
storage of the data in a database.  

I hear terms like beans, DAO's, MVC patterns ect.  But I can't figure out how 
to even start coding all this.  

I suppose that one could just pick a framework that uses all this.  But I would 
feel much more comfortable with choosing among the growing list of frameworks 
if I had a clearer understanding of the basics.

Thanks in advance.
