Ctalk (zip): Ctalk adds object oriented programming features, like classes, methods, operator overloading, and inheritance to standard C programs. C programs can use only a few Ctalk objects, or programs can be written almost entirely in Ctalk. Ctalk classes support common C data types like integers, strings, and floating point numbers, as...; Tags: Object-oriented Programming, C, Robert Kiesling, Ctalk, C/C++, Ooa/Ood/Oop, Programming Languages, Software Development, Software/Web Development; Software downloads 2008-06-30
SlideShare: user communication failure: While Enterprise 2.0 applications can be useful, hassles sometimes abound.

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.

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,...; Tags: Object-oriented Programming, Messaging, Analog, Programming, Ooa/Ood/Oop, Software Development, Software/Web Development, Paul Murphy; Blog posts 2008-06-03
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!

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...; Tags: OOA/OOD/OOP, object-oriented programming; Discussion threads 2008-04-20
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?

Implement the State pattern with ColdFusion Components: The introduction of ColdFusion Components CFCs in ColdFusion MX opened the door to more object-oriented programming OOP in CF. When application developers start thinking about OOP, the idea of design patterns almost always comes up.

Use the PageNavigator class in object-oriented programming to reduce demands on your server and improve the look of your Web page: For object-oriented programmers, using the PageNavigator class solves two problems: it alleviates the demand on server resources and it improves the aesthetics of the Web page display. Only a limited number of images are displayed at any one time, thus reducing demands on the server, while aesthetic requirements...; Tags: Web, Object-oriented Programming, Class, Server, Object-oriented, Web Page, PageNavigator, Ooa/Ood/Oop, Software Development, Software/Web Development; Book chapters 2007-01-30

The Objective-C Programming Language: Object-oriented programming, like most interesting developments, builds on some old ideas, extends them, and puts them together in novel ways. The result is many-faceted and a clear step forward for the art of programming.
