Hi.
Can somebody point me to good intruductions into OOP main paradigms, like inheritance, polymorphism, encapsulation? I am looking for short article, about 2-3 pages, for very quick reading.
Thank you very much.

The definitions from Alan Kay (he invented the term) on c2.com:
http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?AlanKaysDefinitionOfObjectOriented
http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?AlanKayOnMessaging
Which might not be the object-oriented you're looking for.
The big idea is "messaging" - that is what the kernel ... is all about ... The Japanese have a small word - ma - for "that which is in between" - perhaps the nearest English equivalent is "interstitial". The key in making great and growable systems is much more to design how its modules communicate rather than what their internal properties and behaviors should be.

A very quickly reading cannot introduce you to the OOP paradigm. It's a very large topic and it's better that you study it with attention because it can determine how your code is structured.
I also suggest you to improve your knowledge of design patterns, when you'll correctly understand OOP.

This is hardly a niche topic. For a C#-angle on it take a look at MSDN's documentation: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms173109%28v=VS.80%29.aspx

This is for Java but works for any language: http://www.aonaware.com/OOP1.htm
