Ok – new to programming in general and google isn’t helping with this
question because it’s too generic.
Basically, what is a Class? Is it the equivalent of the xhtml
line? Basically defining a piece of code so it can be called
later?
I’m trying to get my hands around the basics and could really use a
tip…
thx.

There are A LOT or resources on google for this type of thing.
Try googling “oo programming” There are so many documents "Results 1
10* of about 2,900,000"
Or from a ruby (and therefore rails point of view)

Good Luck!!

Hi:
From one newbie to another…
The best (easiest to grasp and manipulate) explanation I have had is
that it is a mould (is that the right spelling) from which to make an
object. So a cup mould would produce cups. All the cups would be
largely the same (except that parameters could vary them slightly).
That is all a class is, as far as I know. Not a technical answer but
probably what you are looking for.
