Cleared the OOP section, getting slightly dubious how much I'm taking in now. Think it would be better to just start building something but I do want to see this through and actually finish the book. I have been sidetracked by reading Learning Teaching so I guess that's effected my time on programming.

Not a fascinating read but a good refresher course so far, I'm hoping that later on it becomes more practical and starts to build example software and less theory / reference like
