Ian, I did a trip into the land of OOP and one of the things that I really found useful was the book Headfirst Design Patterns. Its about design patterns, not specifically object oriented programming, but the two have a lot of overlap in programming. It's a very easy to read, well put together book. ........................

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.
