Tom & Dave, I just wanted to thank you for your time and effort that you put into a couple of great presentations last night. I've sorta had that "Ah-ha!" moment with OO, but last night really solidified some concepts for me. Especially using the DAO and Gateway objects, and the part about looking for the nouns in a project. I was really looking for further pointers on designing an OO app, and that seemed to make sense to me. I feel energized to pull my copy of Head First OOA&D off the shelf and try reading it again. The first time I tried reading it, I found that its style didn't really mesh well with me. It seemed *too*, well, wacky is the only word coming to mind. Maybe that'll be different this next time armed with a few more concepts. I'll also need to pick up a copy of Head First Design Patterns.
I've got two side projects that I want to immediately apply this stuff to while it's fresh in my head. Now I just need to find the spare time to work on them! :o) I feel like I should have had more questions, but the things you were explaining made so much sense. I'm sure I'll have questions as I begin to work on these side projects. I'll shoot 'em at the list when they come to me. Anyway, thanks again to both of you! Cheers, Chris -- http://cjordan.us
