In the last chapter we learned the concept of object type.

In object-oriented programming, we often use the word class to mean the same thing as object type.

From now on, we'll use class more often, but feel free to substitute in your mind object type, which is a bit more explicit.

We'll start off by coding a baseline (initial) version of a class. Subsequent chapters will show us how to add data and behaviors to the class.

Now is a good time to take a peek at the chapter references (refs) for fun discussions and learning about classes.
