+--------------------
| I took an introductory course organized by PPI (the company that
| builds Objective-C).  Never having been in any other Object Oriented
| classes, I have nothing to compare it with.  However, I will say that:
| (1) the teacher was well known in the field (i.e. he had written some
|     books on the subject)
| (2) the teacher was quite willing to discuss alternative languages
|     (e.g. C++, SmallTalk, etc.) and make what sounded like objective
|     comparisons, etc.
| 
| I would recommend that you consider them.  The phone number is:

If the instructor is the same as when I took the course, he is Kurt
Schmucker, who wrote a book titled something like "Object-Oriented
Programming on the Macintosh" (sorry, I don't remember the exact title).

I agree that it's a pretty good introduction to OOP, and though
explicated in Objective-C terms, does deal with other OOP languages,
and is fair about them.
