Of those, probably the hardest was probably really “getting” objects after all those years of C. It was the first major transition (since my initial forays into BASIC) that was entirely self-taught, and really changing the way I thought about the structure of software was tough. Now, on those odd (and thankfully very rare) occassions when I find myself leaving the world of objects, it’s amazing how strange and foreign the old ways seem and feel.<\/p>\n
