Ah so you're more having problems with establishing relationships between the objects rather than understanding OOP in general. I had similar problems years ago when I got into OO concepts. Believe it or not, what got me over the hump was a simple program I was working that dealt with cars. I was able to, in my mind, visualize a car and its components. It was only then that I had that "click" moment.
Then perhaps those other books would be of use for you after all.

My suggestion would be to learn some basics of another language that is written to take advantage of OOP. As you know, ColdFusion isn't, and there aren't good books that show you how to think that way via code in ColdFusion. I've done that. I've gone through a couple of courses and tutorials on beginning Java. I get how to create an object with data and methods, I can inherit and encapsulate. Where I loose it, is trying to take a programming requirement. See the objects and/or patterns. And write a group of objects to work together to solve the real world application. I can't make the jump from a Java sample project of a group of jam objects to creating an application to manage trima machine data for our blood bank. -------------- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA --------- | 1 | | --------- Binary Soduko | | | --------- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:240689 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
