A good OOP book?
Hi there,
I am looking for a good book to learn Object Oriented Programming...
Any suggestions?
I am considering:
1. Object-Oriented Programming with ActionScript Branden Hall, Samuel Wan;
2. Object-Oriented Macromedia Flash MX William Drol
Anyone knows them?
Thanks

I just ordered:
Object-Oriented Programming with ActionScript Branden Hall, Samuel Wan
I heard it was very good !!

very very very different books.
if you don't already have some oop experience, get drol's. it walks you through the real basics. maybe too basic. i found myself flipping pages pretty quickly as he described how to create a circle and save it as a movie clip, etc. etc. but once he gets into the meat of it, it's very good.
the hall/wan book, gets into a lot of theory, a lot of the intracacies of flash oop, compared to other languages, pro's and cons of doing things different ways, and the deep internals of how it works. it then dumps a big pile of code on you with one big project. when i got through, i felt like i knew a lot ABOUT flash oop, but really no idea how to start USING it. however, oop is only the first of three sections. the others deal with components and some other aspects of advanced AS.

here is a great URL for ya.

I learned everything I know about OOP, and it's use in Flash, from this tutorial. It is long but worth it. He covers everything in a way non-programers can understand. He relates everything to a real world instance so it is real easy to follow.
Good luck!
