Hello,

A while back I asked an OOP related question. Brian D suggested:

If you're just starting out in the PHP5 OOP world, I highly recommend 
Zandstra's "PHP 5 Objects, Patterns, and Practice." I promise you it's 
worth the $20.

Which I did and started reading it (twice) and it just assumes too much. 
I have zero OOP experience (well that's not really true) and need more 
explanation than that book provides.

Here's a list of OOP books I've collected from Bookpool. Can anyone 
provide insight as to which are good.
I've been coding for a few years now professionally, but dont have any 
real schooling in it.

So, I'm kinda looking to fill in the gaps in my knowledge. So other 
books of interest I'm welcome to hear too.

The list:

http://www.bookpool.com/sm/0672326116 - Which I just borrowed from work

I'm also interested in learning UML.

Thanks!
