Partly this reads like a troll, but assuming this is genuine, this is how I read your "question" below (and obviously I could be wrong):
"Gee, I've come from a background of building houses. I'm trying to learn this stuff you all use to build tall buildings. What is the advantage of all that stuff? I never had to do that to build a house and it is pissing me off..." Your right, you don't need to use DTOs/VOs to build a house. If you only need/want to keep building houses don't use them. If you need/want to build scalable, distributed systems, then I'd suggest you keep asking questions, but maybe switch your tone a bit.... --- In [email protected], "mikeashields" <mikeashie...@...> wrote: > > Yes, the nomenclature is disconcerting.
