I would like to but it seems I'm more of a structural and functional geek than an object-oriented geek.

I just have problems with sequencing things I can't type without spell check and there is no spell check for progarming

cool thing is that these days you can use an IDE for programming in most modern languages and those things come with autocomplete which is almost as good as a spell check.

That would work when I was in school there was no such thing and if you got things turned around it just didn't work
