Google hopes to remake programming with Go

Could be a really cool programming for old C/C programmers!!I will definitely try it out.No. No pointers.Umm, no. No pointers, no "*" symbols littered in my code anymore, thanks.. . . and, frankly, it pushes typing from bad to worse. No OOP, and no replacement, other than what...

Teaching object-oriented programming with Greenfoot

Another topic I covered with during my interview with Sun Microsystems' Joe Hartley was "Greenfoot," a tool that Sun helped develop providing financial and consultative support to the developers to teach students about object-oriented programming. While most students pick up algorithmic approaches to programming fairly easily, many struggle to...

SlideShare: user communication failure

While Enterprise 2.0 applications can be useful, hassles sometimes abound. In this case, I innocently tried to upload a simple file to SlideShare, only to learn things aren't always straightforward.After attempting to upload the file, I received an error message stating in part: There's a big chance this is...

Oddball thinking about OOP

Oddball thinking about OOPVery interesting Murph ...... but a tad tricky to know if I followed your drift or not.OOP in my mind is a programmers management tool/way/approach/methodology. I'd find it hard not to write OO now. In the background Erlang is proving an interesting curve, but it's a hobby...

Oddball thinking about OOP

Here's a variant thought about object oriented programming: it's a failure most directly because no one's developed a programming environment that fully implements the core messaging ideas - and the reason no one's been able to do it is that the OO ideas apply mainly to analog,...

The tattered history of OOP

The tattered history of OOPCalling for Mom ..SOAP etc are not themselves messaging based, they're messaging protocols - i.e. message carriers that are not internally implemented using object messaging.OOP!Crieky, I had no idea OOP had been through so much!

The tattered history of OOP

This is a guest blog by frequent contributor Mark Miller - a followup on our earlier discussions of the effectiveness and value of the object oriented programming idea. OOP has been a mixed bag, but I say this only because...

Is OOP a branch to nowhere?

Is OOP a branch to nowhere?I agreeAnd furthermore, it is not self-evident that OOP is inherently more efficient than procedural programming.Your decomposition implies that even the earliest OO concepts existed only as transitional elements in large complex procedural workspace.At a machine-language level OO creates massive stack manipulations for even the...

Is OOP a branch to nowhere?

To continue the discussion about development languages, I want to ask a potentially embarrassing question: has the whole object orientation business been both a functional and a conceptual failure? One of the odd things about the OO movement is that no two proponents understand...

StockMaster: A Java-Based Stock Portfolio Manager

This paper introduces StockMaster, a stock portfolio manager which uses Java applets and applications to provide portfolio information for users through a web interface. Stock-Master uses a three-tier architecture. The tiers include an applet which interfaces with a server-side application, which in turn accesses a database/quote server. Use of design...

Introducing ADO.NET Entity Framework

The challenge of bringing data from efficient storage engines such as SQL Server into object-oriented programming models is hardly a new one. Most developers address this challenge by writing complex data access code to move data between their applications and the database. However, writing such code requires an understanding of...

Fragments: A Lightweight Extension of Java for Pattern Matching

Objects in Object Oriented Programming OOP are of a different nature. Such languages typically allow programmers to construct objects from parameters that may serve as input for computing the initial values of the object's fields but are not necessarily representative of the object's fields themselves. Thus, the implementation of a...

Teaching Object-Oriented Concepts Through GUI Programming

It is difficult to teach Object-Oriented Programming OOP from a language perspective, even to experienced programmers. Complex syntaxes obscure concepts and make it difficult for learners to get a real "Feel" for OO architecture. This is a classic example of "Not seeing the forest for the trees." OOP is best...

An Overview of the Object-Oriented Database Programming Language DBPQL

This paper presents a new approach to the integration of object-oriented programming languages, database programming languages and query languages. While object-oriented programming languages and languages that are supported by object database systems appear to be closely related, there are a number of significant differences that affect language design and implementation....
