This is Where I Start Going "BDBDBDBLBLB..."

"No, no, the 'login' method is a property of the 'user' class!"

"Er, it's not a piece of the 'login' page?"

"Of course not, don't be ridiculous."

"Oh. Erm. So user.login() equals--"

"mUser."

"mUser?"

"Yes, we're going to make a private variable inside the login method that has the same value as 'user'."

"Oh. Um. Where's that again?"

"You forgot to put -dim- in front of it."

"I thought it didn't need -dim- as long as it had -private-."

"No, -private- is an attribute."

"Oh. Um. Let's see that sample code again?"

Still, I can generally follow what's going on, even if I'm not quite there with the 'creating a new piece of code' bit yet. But I'll get there! I've only been at it four days, after all.

Good luck with that. Object Oriented stuff has never made any sense to me. I understand inheritance and classes, but the syntax puts me right off.

I had to dive into a database this morning to undelete something. `twas amusing.

Today, I get to put up our institute's wiki. Fun times all around. ;)

This is why I avoid object-oriented stuff like the plague. It may be a neat idea in theory, but the implementation is so utterly brain-damaged, non-intuitive, and unnecessarily complicated that it just makes no sense.

(Actually, this is probably why I avoid PC programming in general these days, and just stick to 8-bit microcontrollers... :) )

Some of that sounds screwy even for object oriented programming. At least sample code means you have something to play with as you figure the stuff out.

i'm tempted to start making jokes about property as a means of maintaining the separation of classes, and workers' ownership of the means of production, but you might get mad. :)

Sounds like a job for Dover. X)

Well GOSH, Gneech, EVERYBODY knows THAT *rolleyes*

(and runs like hell) :)

Almost sounds like something Abbot and Costello would be doing if they where still alive today.

Ewwwww! VB!

(VB is one of the worst attempts at retrofitting bits of OO into an already horrible language)
