Watch and make sure you understand the hard parts lecture on oop from codesmith. I recommend taking notes and writing out by hand all the different ways you can define objects as well as diagramming the connections yourself (prototypes or whatever they’re called).

I don't love this answer with my outsider hat on. On the one hand, you shouldn't have to study Codesmith-proprietary techniques and learn things the Codesmith way to get into Codesmith.... it's a little brainwashy BUT, on the other hand, it's also good confirmation that IF the Codesmith way of learning works for you then Codesmith is also a good fit for you and adds additional confidence in choosing it. I just think if you do things all the Codesmith way and don't get it, it's probably a good sign Codesmith isn't for you, and not a reflection on your abilities as an engineer. Two sides to every story :D
