Outside of university computer science ivory tower environments like Smalltalk, and besides NeXTSTEP/OPENSTEP/Cocoa of Mac OS X, your best bet is to make more OO classes and learn to abstract consistent pieces. Try taking a look at "Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software" by Gamma, Helm, Johnson, Vlissides. Also, from the ColdFusion world, there are framework architectures like Fusebox whose concepts are supposed to be language-independent. -- Eugene Lee eugene@fsck.net
