If you want to get just the concept and the language doesn't bother then you can read the first two chapters of Thinking in Java, it has explained the OOPS concepts quite clearly...

Bruce Eckel is indeed very good. He's also written c++ book(among many others like C#, python,...)
Thanks a lot guys, I downloaded the .pdf, it looks very interesting.

What I would also suggest is that if you don't have experience in C, then do a quick read on it, then the transition to java, c++ would be really easy. I've got ton's of java stuff but it always seems like a daunting task everytime I pick up the java book.
Kernighan rocks when it comes to C stuff. I've ordered a book myself. Check it out. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS...112977-4421515
A good book no doubt about that, a book from the creators of C. But i was amazed at the price. I bought that second edition last week and it cost me Rs75/- and on amazon its $40 which is equal to Rs1900/- approx. Thats a huge difference. Ok i know that it would have good looking pages and cover.Quote:

Galgotia it is!! I'll drop in a line when I'm coming thatta way. I think end this year. It's been a while...;) Thanx for the offer. Maybe then we can go to Nirula's...heh heh...Bar's are a big hassle in delhi, it's better to check out the "Theka's" in the border, no?
Common you are talking about old times... there are lots of BARS over here now. We have about 5 BARS and 1 PUB also at my local market now... :)Quote:

That's good news.;)
Bang your head against the wall several hundred times and stand on your head. You now have the perspective of an Object Oriented Designer. It will turn your world upside down and challange every notion you have about relational databases.Quote:

Speaking as one who has tried and failed, I would say Jeff is spot on. It's a complete change of world view, which beat me (I'd say "paradigm shift" if it still meant anything after years of misuse). Any future attempt I would make would have to be far away from day-to-day non-OO distractions (a desert island or 6 months in prison).
One piece of advice I had was to use a language that was pure OO (I tried SmallTalk) otherwise you risk just writing Fortran in a different dialect. I avoided that by writing nothing . . . .
