Its neat to see this posted here. I'm a self educated hacker and years back this video is what finally helped me grok OOP. At the time I could copy and paste code, but had little grasp of the ideas behind it. Ingalls' "Hospital as an object" analogy is what made the model click.

It is a beautiful video. I also recommend to everyone who's interested in high quality material about OOP to read [1].
