Re: Damn sisters :-)

First of all, I would like to thank you for all the patience you spend in
teaching a newbie like me the right way to understand Cocoa and
Objective-C. Thank you again !! :-))
I understand now the usefulness of encapsulation.
Very often when I read the docs before asking a question to you, I'm in
trouble just with the brand new terminology of Obj-C.
I newer went to the words "encapsulation", "implementation", "interface"
before (I was using Amiga together with AmigaE language and StormC
compiler... ;-)) so my main difficulty is to "remap" all the new words to
the old concepts I stored into my mind [programming languages do all the
same kinda things...maybe just a little better]
Just to make an example, in Obj-C there are not the words "constructor"/
"deconstructor" I was familiar with on C++ but "istantiation", "release"
and so on...
But I must admit that I'm getting slowly into the mechanism, and I must
say that:

1) Cocoa is beautiful (so much power and flexibility)
2) MacOS X is the most advanced OS, just because it's relatively easy to
program, even for a stupid like me ! :-)

PS : How many of you guys were advanced NeXTStep developers ?!?
