OO techniques are hard to teach

Spam from my inbox a few minutes ago ... "OOD (object-oriented design) is a topic that is notoriously difficult to teach because the design priciples are so abstract. Fortunately, we, [[name or organisation deleted ]] (a non-profit organization funded by the Macau government), have found a way to teach it effectively."

I agree that it's very hard to teach OO principles ... but I've been doing it for a number of years and feel well tuned to doing so - especially on courses such as python and C++ where the languages are "pure" OO.

Of course, we have something over the spammers mentioned above for the European market - we have a training centre to teach you face to face in Melksham, rather than being an offshore operation from the Far East.
