FAQ

I don't get it all, and actually, I have more questions now than I had at the start of the chapter. What should I do?

If you are desperate to know more about OOP right now, there are plenty of highly rated books that discuss nothing but OOP. However, practice and familiarity with the syntax will go a long way to achieve the same thing and will probably be more fun. This is exactly what we will do for the rest of the book.
