It is about writing code. OO code is very little different to 
non OO code. The principles - variable naming, code structure, 
commenting ewtc etc - stay the same. OO is diffeerent at 
the design level not the code level (apart from some minor 
syntax changes). Again, code complete could have ben written 
any time after about 1985 and not require any alteration. 
CS hasn't changed much at that level since then.
