One book I found really helpful was "Just Java 2" (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0130105341/qid=1147801102/sr=2-3/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_3/103-1094486-3133417?s=books&v=glance&n=283155)
Readable, really discusses the concepts of OOP and I found it really easy to follow and understand. Java-centric, of course, but a good read. > -----Original Message----- > From: Ian Skinner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, May 16, 2006 12:46 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: SOT: OOD/Design Patterns and ColdFusion. > > I guess I just do not have a natural OOP/OOD/OOA type mind.
