>just isn't true.
The middle letter in OOP stands for Oriented. When I think of that word I
think of "becoming familiar with and somewhat following the general idea" of
whatever subject is at hand. When I apply that to Object Oriented
Programming, I simply think of orienting my code around self contained
entities that hide their details and inner workings behind methods -
car.drive(). The part that I think is most important is deciding what
becomes an object and then how the objects work together, not the syntax and
extended features that make it easier to work with objects like inheritance
and all the rest. There should be a term to describe this very simple,
high-level concept, and it seems like using the term Oriented is right on.
Maybe we just need a new acronym to more accurately describe the specific
syntax of OOP when it was a concept that was exclusive to lower level
language circles, because it sounds kind of silly to say "you're not
orienting yourself correctly" when people are just trying to benefit from
organizing their code around objects but might be veering a little from
tradition. I hereby submit this new acronym, I hope it's not already taken:
SJOCSOCPSAYBNVFTSMFOWHYSADALYAHTMLC, which you probably already guessed
stands for Strict Java or C Style Object Conforming Programming Syntax and
You Better Not Veer From This Sh*t Mother Fu&*er or We'll Hunt Your Stupid
As$ Down and Label You a Hyper Text Markup Language Coder. Not only would
replacing the term Oriented with Conforming clear up a lot of confusion for
people, but that acronym would just look so sweet on a resume.

Just curious, OOP doesn't really apply to CF so why the OOP stuff?
I have read all the crud where people say CFC's are like OOP but it just
isn't true. Now OOP concepts may have been a better choice of words because
that would imply the ability to understand the reasons why but not
necessarily the implementation of such concepts.
I suppose people could say that CFC's make you think about reuse but to be
honest when I programmed in C (well before C++ caught on) I was using code
reuse and nobody called it OOP. I had libraries built for all kinds of off
the wall crud.
But what do I know....not meant to diss the post just a thought I had as I
glanced over it.
