object-oriented

Hello, I am not sure about some things in oop.

If I have Class1, which has some private field, for example private Field field1, and make

getField1(){return field1;}

then I have some class with constructor

public Class2(Field field){someMethod(field);}

And then I call constructor of Class2 in Class3 like:

Class2 cl = new Class2(instanceOfClass1.getField1());

And now the question: Am I working with field1 of instanceOfClass1 in "someMethod(field)"?

I know this is a silly question but i don't understand Access Modifiers in OOP.

You still get to the instance variable but why use… >>> More
Do you need a good background in OOP before moving to frameworks?

Frameworks being all OOP, would it not be wise to go into frameworks without having a solid background in OOP? I can write basic classes but nothing too fancy or abstract. How much should I know of OOP before moving to frameworks? Right now I am PHP Object-Oriented Programming to learn OOP. >>> More
