Cameron - I found posts starting in 2005 going all the way up to August 2007.
He talks about OO like it is a 90s thing here and gone and that relational or "set theory" is here to stay. http://www.zefhemel.com/archives/2005/01/20/oop-is-much-better-in-theory-tha n-in-practice That one is in May of this year. Like change in software, there is something for sure at the meta level of programming -- there are a lot of paradigm theologians. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Cameron Childress Sent: Wednesday, August 29, 2007 10:06 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [CFCDEV] Tom Minderson and anti-OO First, I think it's significant that these are "old" posts. Second, I see this sort of thing alot where people seem to think that there is only "one true answer" to a problem and proceed to ferociously defend that solution as if there were no other possible solution as cool as the one they are behind. Perhaps the most popular example of this in current times is some debate in the media about which alternate energy source is really the best one. Solar is better than wind is better than E85 is better than Hydro is Better than nuke - etc... It's also seen in the monthly debates on CFTalk about PHP is better than ASP is better then .NET is better then CF - etc... In reality, it's more like the right solution for the right problem. Usually it's actually a combination of solutions that do the job. This case if no different. In fact, look inside any single method in a OO design and what to you typically find? Chunks of procedural code calling other OO methods. I think it's dangerous to call out any single technology or technique as if the others are all hogwash. Hogwash indeed. -Cameron PS: No hogs were harmed during the writing of this email.
