I don't know if you were around when I posted my "My First C#" post.
The feedback I got from it (in here) was really, really great. In fact,
I didn't realize the brilliance of some of that advice until I got to my
new job and started doing OO exclusively every day. The biggest thing
that helped me, I think, is the "one method, one responsibility"
concept. If the building blocks are small enough, you can put them
together quickly. If they're too big, you have to take the time to
either split them apart, or add "another" parameter to alter the
behavior under a certain condition. (And yes, it is valid OO to have a
method whose one responsibility is putting the pieces together - in
fact, that's probably the main method in the class.)

I remember it well :-)

You have come a long way since then, and I have been informed and impressed by your posts :-)

heh... That's good. It's good to know I'm catching on.

I really wish I could get MonoDevelop working. I downloaded it, and tried to make a simple "HelloWorld" program, but it just sat there, and then crashed.
