As a programmer of other languages for 25+ years, I get the concepts of programming, but OOP, specifically Java, are new to me; hence, I am looking for something that gives a high level breakdown of the various structures (e.g. class, method, variable, construct, instance, etc.), what each typically requires, how each uses or feeds the others, etc. Any advice will be pput to use post-haste.

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutori...aOO/index.html is an OK guide to the OO stuff in java. Be aware that these pages are for Java SE, the Java we use on the robot for at least this year is still pretty old. I think all the OO stuff (classes, inheritance, etc) is the same aside from enums. They also have some pages in there on things coming in Java 8 which we definitely don't have.
