[RESOLVED] good OOP tutorial?

Hello all,

I'm looking for some good online tutorials and books that go in depth into OOP and three tier programming.

Thanks

I don't know where there's a good tutorial. :rolleyes:

The Start VB.NET tutorial in my signature has a section on OOP. I don't know whether it will go to great depth or not as I haven't actually read it myself.

I'm stuck in the past... :D

Any book on a .NET language will talk about the syntax of OOP features. I bought "Applying UML and Patterns" a while back. It basically walks through building a basic point of sale system with good OOP techniques while teaching you UML. It's a long read however.

A couple other good books on OOP patterns are "Design Patterns" and "Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture." You can pull good design ideas just by looking at how they solve common problems with patterns.

I'd say a good rule is if you get stuck in a project, you're probably missing an object. You have to not be afraid to make your classes smaller and create more objects.

Believe it or not, the Complete Idiots Guide to Visual Basic .NET was what really helped me to understand OOP, it did it ever so well, in only three chapters.

I got Design Patters from Wrox, and I'm looking for Complete Idiots Guide to VB.NET as well.

Thanks guys!
