C++, Python, ADA and many more? How did you master it.

finish an object-oriented programming 1 and 2 course, thereafter a systems modeling and design course. 9 credits. Take them w/ work (or whatever) at a local college.

object-oriented programming 1 will verify you know more basic programming principles (variables, flow of control, loops, arrays, etc) and begin a discussion of classes & objects

object-oriented programming II will continue the discussion of classes & objects and their fundamental principles of overriding, overloading, inheritance, and related issues

systems modeling & design will, among many things, introduce you to identifying your future program's classes & objects

if you take all three courses at a local college then most likely the courses will use the same framework (java, vb.net, or C#, etc)

this way, not only will you master -A- language, you will be able to come to the abstract that all object-oriented programming languages are fundamentally the same, differing mostly in syntax

moreover, you will have the ability to model object-oriented designs, which without you will never make full use of object-oriented methodologies

my professor said that it takes eight modeling attempts to master object-oriented modeling

after my first attempt at a large dev project, I found modeling invaluable, and have made much use of object-oriented design

hope this helps,

Robert

To master a language you have to use it often and have experience in active projects that delve into all sorts of things.

depends..If you've learned any other programing language before, it is VERY easy. otherwise, given a day or 2, you will get the concept and keep on getting better (only a master programmer can know everything about a language)

It varies from person to person to learn Object Oriented programming. Some people get the concept of "Objects" quickly, but most people are used to "procedural" thinking, because that is how we see things happening, in a sequential order... time wise. I am not sure how many people can say they mastered object oriented programming, but if you want to study advanced techniques, try search for "design patterns". They are proven good solutions to well known problems and are usually in Object Oriented thinking in today's world, until another prgramming technique comes along.

I'm no master, but Java is pretty easy to learn. The hardest part is wrapping your brain around the concept of objects. Once you do that, it's pretty much easy sailing. The syntaxes just change for each language. Try Java first.

I agree with bigradi0head. Stick with one language. C# is a good one.
