Hi Kirby,
Many thanks for the thoughtful review of my PythonOOP chapter. I especially
like the suggestions to put more emphasis on the role of over-rides in
*specializing* the behavior of subclasses, and to at least mention
commonly-used CS terms like "polymorphism". I'll keep your suggestion
Hi David --
I've been looking at your PythonOOP.
Why use classes? All programming aside, I think it's a fairly strong
grammatical model of how people think, basically in terms of
noun.adjective (data attribute) and noun.verb() (callable method).
All talk of computer languages aside, we're very n
