RE: Assembly programmers do it a byte at a time

Paul,

I liked the book "Beginning Java Objects". The book uses Java to teach
OO concepts (quite a bit of time is spent on the design phase). It was
easy to read and really helped me both with Java and with RPG.

Paul,

Thanks.

I have a copy of "Who Knew.."  While very good information on the "how
to do it" side, it still doesn't touch the stuff Alan was talking
about...functional deconstruction, abstraction, data hiding,
encapsulation.  

It describes the tools one can use to do those things, but doesn't teach
me the principles I can apply to break business problems into modular
programming constructs.  How to break out of a monolithic approach to
thinking about logic flow, into an **ORGANIZED** modular approach, using
small reusable pieces.
