[ale] Language Jihad!

[Dow Hurst]

Boy! Have I gotten some good advice here!

The discussion is leading toward a good foundation in OOAD before diving
into learning an OO based language.  I haven't any training in
flowcharting or thinking in objects or language-like constructs.  Any
good books to use for this?  I have one of the Learn C++ in 24 Hours
type books right now. ;-)

I was just going to try to figure out by myself how to create the flow
and building blocks of any program I would write.  Now that sounds like
not such a good idea.  My favorite thing to do would be to learn how to
create a program that was a securely networked client-server program
with a GUI that understood how to communicate with serial ports to
control the outside world.  I have some ideas for purposes of the
program but these are the essential elements I would like to create. 
Thanks so much the good discussion and advice.
Dow
