D'lite i appreciate the sources i will gladly give them all a read through, is there one you think should be read first? im no master programmer but i have a firm understanding of classes, objects, encapsulation, generalization, recursion, constructors and methods as well as inheritance and a somewhat understanding of interfaces. so if you could recommend one to further expand upon the base knowledge, it wouls be appreciated!
