I'm starting now to get a deeper understanding of the OOP. I have
searched on google and some websites were talking about the OOP
Thrilogy regarding the OOP literature available.

does anyone know what books are they talking about?

I feel kind of desperate! OOP is out of my understanding

Thanks a lot,
Vinnie

The OOP Trilogy is not literature, it's the three concepts
encapsulation, polymorphism and inheritance.

LOL I've been programming for years, but World of Warcraft has tainted my
eyes! Everytime I see "polymorphism" now, I think someone has been
"polymorphed" into a sheep! (for those that don't know, polymorph is a
World of Warcraft spell that mages use to turn players and mobs into sheep,
pigs, and turtles).

lol, sorry...

Yeah, and combine that with the OP's request for information about the
OOP "thrilogy", (not "trilogy") and I was picturing a rip-roaring page-
turner featuring a swashbuckling Alan Kay and Niklaus Wirth.

In Warcraft II (or was it the original) it was sheep only.

But really, that's a good example. All forms took damage in essentially the
same way. They fit into the programming polymorphism model that way
(substitutability).
