  • What Is an Object? (The Java& Tutorials &             Learning the Java Language & Object-Oriented Programming Concepts)

    meh... I need to come up with and post a really EASY to understand paper on object oriented programming. I'm sick of car.start and dog.bark examples. They were not easy to understand back when I was learning them and this explanation is no easier.

    In order to understand objects, you will have to learn crappy, obfuscated analogies. (Start with old Star Trek.)

    "Dogs have state (name, color, breed, hungry) and behavior (barking, fetching, wagging tail)." : OK, I understand that dogs have behavior coming from inside. But now, I read :"Bicycles also have state (current gear, current pedal cadence, current speed) and behavior (changing gear, changing pedal cadence, applying brakes)" : it's not behavior coming from inside, it's actions coming from outside the object and applied onto it. I think given examples are flawed.

    >.> You know what? none of these explinations work. The way I learned object oriented programming, was through toying with Visual Basic. You learn through doing things, not through real life examples that barely apply. I suppose this may work for some people, but... for a large sect of programmers, I'm very sure that this won't work Plus... yeah... anyone who has programming in their stumble upon list, will probably know what object oriented programming is, or they've looked at similar examples that didn't help anyhow.

    Nice visuals. Tutorials with illustrations help address a broader range of learning styles.

    this is the one of the best object-oriented programming tutorials out there. this was the one that made it click for me by using bicycles as examples of how object oriented programming represents real-world problems and situations.
