Software is still the organization of sequence, selection, and iteration. For fifty years we have been inventing new languages, notations, and formulations to manage Sequence, Selection, and Iteration (SSI). Structured Programming is simply a way to organize SSI. Objects are another way to organize SSI. Functional is still another. Indeed, almost all of our software technologies are just different ways of organizing Sequence, Selection, and Iteration." http://blog.objectmentor.com/articles/2010/07/05/software-calculus-the-missing-abstraction Moandji -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
