Hi Jim.
going from linear to object oriented, I was lucky to be 'mentored' by a guy from IBM. The solution is easy, as he explained to me -'You unplug your brain, and then plug it in again, but sideways'. It's one of those things that takes a year of frustration, and then it suddenly clicks, and you can't then even think about doing it in the old way.
Best wishes,
Ray
True. When you start doing object oriented work, the next step is to realize that even more important than the programming language of choice is to pick a good IDE. A cumbersome and non-visual IDE, to me, is even worse than a cumbersome language.
