Keith, I thought the relational database became a de facto standard before object-oriented languages did, but could be wrong. In either case, the generational...
In the general population, the Sensing/iNtuitive ratio is probably 70/30... in the software developer population, I think it may be closer to 50/50. I think...
... Hi, I think procedular style is more easy to use because it's more explicit. The code tells exactly what is happening in a single place. OOP really works...
... But this is what code /should/ do. ... When I read code I want to understand it. If the choice is between a style that makes it easy for me to know what's...
... Sometimes what's easy for us to understand today is easy because we aren't as yet very good at understanding. I used to think that the following was good...
Hi, While reading the book, I tried to come up with the design for a simple model. Here is the scope of the problem domain. 'Company' recruits a person and...

... Exactly. Well put. ... I like this thought experiment. But is it obvious that removing duplication would involve bundling state and behavior? Might...

Narayanan, in your MODEL I noticed that 'Employee' *is a* 'Manager'. Shouldn't it be the other way around e.g. 'Manager' *is an* 'Employee'? Regards, Dmitriy....
Happy New Year! I'm already sold to OO. I'll even admit to being an OO bigot. I'm just not so sure that SSB's popularity is solely based on marketing. Like I...
