Dunno why, I'm older than you... > When I went through uni I started off in 1981 with punch cards and cobol. > OO, the net and windows did not exist! I started Uni in '79... We had punch tape. Basic. Pascal. A bit of LISP. I came out of Uni speaking 14 (computer) languages tho'... because they were there (it's the curiosity thing that Jeff Peters was on about at CFUN!). > I've read up a bit with OO, but unless it's forced upon me, I'll continue to > steer away from it. I suppose one of the strengths of CF is that it supports > differing design approaches. And that's just fine - the best languages do allow you to program however you want. That was one of the main strengths of C++ - you could program like C or you could do full-blown OO. Or even generic programming with templates. Very much an all-purpose language, as is ColdFusion. But my feeling is that eventually OO will be forced on all of us... or if not OO then something else new and different that we've been avoiding for a long time. Change is inevitable. Which is partly what drives me to go out and learn new stuff all the time...
