Hey Chris, Before looking for anything on patterns, I would recommend reading The Object-Oriented Thought Process from cover to cover. It's not the most exciting read, but it's short, and starts with "you know what a variables is" and ends with "oh, geez, you're stuck, here's where patterns can help."

I read both before the GoF book and other design pattern "catalogs" really started to click. -Joe On 6/1/05, Chris Alvarado <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Hello all, > > > > Im delving deeper into the OO world with my work (CF / Flash, etc) and I am > starting to see some of the limitations my own misunderstandings of OO.
