I'm reading this book OOP Demystified. It seems pretty good. I'm getting a better understanding of OOP.

It says that OOP programmers use flow charts and pseudo code to describe processes. Do programmer still use flow charts? I've only see them used in books that don't use UML. This book does teach some basic UML however.

The book also talks about the use of ER diagrams. However, I've only used those with databases not with OOP. The book doesn't go into detail as to how one uses ERD to describe the relationship between objects in OOP.

I'm just trying to verify some things.

If these things are used, do you have any suggestions as to how i can expand my knowledge? I just want to stick to the basics and build. In the past, i thought one book or so would solve my problems only to bite off to much at a time and get nothing accomplished.

Thanks!
