It is really a big jump. Most of us have follow the "evolutionary path" of
TP through 4.0, 5.0, 5.5 and finally 6.0. There are lots of good book about
5.5 and OOP. It might be a good idea first to feel really comfortable with
the methodology of OOP before digging into TV.
  
By the way, the concept of modularity might also be quite new to 3.2 user.
When I first start using 4.0, I found there were lots of traps in writing
units especially the scope of the variable.
