Things I wish I had been told about objects

You can read this in a nice wiki format here

When looking at tutorials and tips, you'll hear phrases like "the objects 'x' method" and "returns an 'x' object". If you're not sure what this means, it definitely helps to get a grasp of the concept of objects when you are programming.

A big problem I had when I first learned about Object Oriented Programming was that tutorials all needed to be so damn correct. Since I was only a noob this lead to confusion and frustration.

This post is not entirely correct, and in some ways just flat wrong. But it serves to bridge the gap between procedural programming and OOP for the newbie. If you continue down the golden path of OOP you'll find that a lot of the stuff I said here was fallacious, but it was a means to an end.

Look what I can do.

I am currently on my fried laptop. Blue lines cascade down my screen like merry digital waterfalls, the gfx card hums like an engine with no oil, chugging towards its inevitable demise, my time is short and blender is far, far out of the question. So I decided to use this time effectively. I am learning Java. And that right there is my first program. And I am proud of it. If you look closely you can see that I fucked it up the first time, but such disappointments make the successes all the sweeter.
