OOP, but do we actually think like that.

Wednesday, 18 November 2009 18:27 by John Shawyer

OOP started life in the sixties but the publication of "Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software" in 1994 really established it as the direction that software design was moving.

Dividing the world into objects and classes, complicated to set up, even more complicated to execute. But once established, is a dream to program in. The thing about objects is that you will never have to code them again.

But do people actually think like this?

An Example

If you spoke to a database designer would tell you that in a relational database the data only occurs once. In real life it is different, our brain cannot think like the relation database designer.

When I have been programming with OOP a problem has presented itself, and try as I might, I have not been able to think of a solution.

Not bring able to see the solution has not stopped me programming, I know how the first steps of my programme operate so I can write the initial steps and iron out any problems that might occur. When I have finished this part the next step will be appear obvious, and so you move the solution forward. One step at a time is all you have is to do programmatically. By following the steps eventually you will get to a solution.

With a relational database this in not how you should program. You cannot have a notion of an idea but have no table to store it in! In real life you decide one step at a time. So maybe the relational database does not exist? Is it just in our imagination? It’s a nice idea but when we want the computer to do some real work having a predefined relation model is a bit rich?

Having been a relational database freak then the idea of an OOP database seems quite weird. So I will let you know how I get on!

Here are some examples

Microsoft has used Object Oriented Programming heavily in the development of Visual Studio.

Below is a free sample of OOP, a Password Phrase Generator, storing data in SQL server.

Hi. I wanted to drop you a quick note to express my thanks. I've been following your blog for a month or so and have picked up a ton of good information as well as enjoyed the way you've structured your site. I am attempting to run my own blog but I think its too general and I want to focus more on smaller topics. Being all things to all people is not all that its cracked up to be.

Great post! I am just starting out in community management/marketing media and trying to learn how to do it well - resources like this article are incredibly helpful. As our company is based in the US, it?s all a bit new to us. The example above is something that I worry about as well, how to show your own genuine enthusiasm and share the fact that your product is useful in that case.

I completely agree with the above comment, the internet is with a doubt growing into the most important medium of communication across the globe and its due to sites like this that ideas are spreading so quickly.

Is there any way you can remove me from that service?
Thanks!

While this subject can be very touchy for most people, my opinion is that there has to be a middle or common ground that we all can find. I do appreciate that youve added relevant and intelligent commentary here though. Thank you!

wow quite a few of the comments visitors write make me laugh, again and again i contemplate whether they in fact read the content articles and content before leaving a comment or whether they barely skim the title of the article and post the very first thought that pops into their heads. in any event, it is really pleasant to read through intelligent commentary once in a while as opposed to the very same, outdated post vomit that i invariably notice on the web
