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.

Annotated with the date.

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