"This is a series of extracts from Object Orientated Perl", and it looks familar enough but isn't any one chapter - it's a preview as it were. > In my opinion, the balanace between theory > and technique in the book is good, you really > can't expect a book about object oriented to > be without any theory at all right? There is a lot of theory, explaining the various approaches then following with an implementation of what was dicussed. In OO there is NO ONE WAY to implement a system, you need to know what the different techniques are and when to apply them - this book will teach you that. > > (2) Does this book get better in > > chapters 2 and 3?

However, before you can do anything complex you need to learn a lot of things first. However, you should remember the Cookbook and the Camel both have chapters on OO that you may want to start with - although they are geared towards those with some prior experience.
