Another pointer for learning OO:

Most OO tutorials will focus on inheritance (e.g. class X extends class Y). I think this is a bad idea. Inheritance is useful, but it can also cause problems.

Learn how to write good abstractions of your data, and you'll be in good shape. Don't sweat the inheritance stuff right away.
