In the conventional sense of the word,objects are anything that can be seen or touched.Event in a software sense most people would associate objects with visual images such icons which represent metaphors of everyday objects. 

Object in a computer programming sense, are areas in a computer memory where computer code can be stored.They form the basis of Object Orientated Programming System (OOPS) which is a technique whereby any complex system can be reconfigured as a system of communcating module. 

The advantage of using objects represented by areas of code in a computer memory is that the objects can represent any possible product of the imagination. Such objects can be configured into complex abstract systems which are then visualized as being made up of small independent conceptual modules which link together by means of a communication architecture. 

I bet you starting to wonder why this guy want us to think in term of "Object". Well, as the internet technology is evoluting fast there will be another "revolution" under a code name"Thinking Object". So it is better to start adopting this way of analysing problems or soon or later you mind end in the last train when this technology breaks out. 

I will do everything for my part to give you necessary tips and provide you with valuable links that will facilitate your learning of this technique. But , remember don´t be discourage if you have some trouble understanding at the begining. Just like when you were 9 month old and are learning how to walk. You keep trying ,trying ... and one day you realise that you can walk. The same can be said of "Object thinking". 

There are a lot of softwares that support object oriented programming.The one I use and won´t hesitate recommending it to anyone is Macromedia Director with its scripting language Lingo. Even the highly experience C and C++ programmer like Darien Fitzgerald who made a transition to Lingo said : " ... Lingo turned out to be more powerful than I thought it was." 

Finaly I like to draw your attention on the fact that it may take a while to update some pages as I am very busy at work.
