Interesting (I mean it) lesson on OOP basics.
What I' d have to point out, from an old clipper-programmer's POV,
is that OOP introduces a *structured complexity* which in some/many cases is unnecessary, wasteful in resources, and infrastructure/learning demanding. (not to mention those tongue-tie, virus-like "T"s that dominates the classes name-space for absolutely useless reasons denoting an immanent adoration to stereotypes, which is one of the unwelcome features of OOP model. But again, maybe I'm wrong since i am not a theorist of programming art. That said, i feel just fully covered by Roberto Lopez phrase that "regarding OOP, I guess that we must open our minds to new ideas and programming paradigms. To write an operating system service is a very different task that creating a simple database application. IMHO, should be obvious for someone, that an unique programming model/paradigm, could be not able to suit the programmers needs for all situations."
