FWIW, I thought this book did a good job of of getting me past the jargon. Much more accessible to me than the Moock Essential AS2 has been. The Moock book is really good, but, I find it tough read. I'm not really a programmer though, it's just another hat I have to wear sometimes...

I find the hardest thing to get my head around is the absurd amount of Jargon involved in OOP - for what are essentially simple concepts. I really wish we wouldn't perpetuate the practice of trying to make ourselves important by using such a verbal smokescreen. Once you get past the copious amounts of conceptual diarrohea the actual fundamentals are fairly easy to understand. I know it's easier to define concepts using singular terms, but it would seem that OOP tends to go overboard with this a hell of a lot. OOP dictionary anyone? This is componounded by other concepts being explained within the bounds of this "jargon" - One question inevitably leads to many more. M
