Title: Static attributes and methods not available to objects not of the class!!??
Review: Decided to have a look at this book to see if it's fit for some colleagues who are unfamiliar with OO.I'm up to chapter 6 of this book and so far it's not a bad introduction to OO concepts, but in chapter 5 under "Keeping the scope as small as possible" it states -"Static attributes and methods are shared among objects of the same class; however, they are not available to objects not of the class"Err, sorry - FAIL!What absolute hogwash. public static members of a class can be accessed from anywhere, including from objects not of the class. This is a fundamentally wrong statement. Unless I'm reading it wrong?
Is the review positive or negative?
