.. is this not one of the worst written pieces of technobabble you've seen?
http://www.htmlgoodies.com/beyond/javascript/article.php/3470971 I ran across this via the del.ico.us rss feed. It wanders around trying to make some misbegotten points about object-orientation, compilation, and such. For example: "Continuing with the model car example, when you built the engine, you didn't use any of the parts that would later build the seats (a 350 four-barrel engine with a seat belt sticking out if the piston would look pretty silly). The point is that all the parts that made up the engine were of a certain class of parts. They all went together. Ditto with the body and then the interior." "The point is that in these languages, you build objects out of classes of commands to create the whole. Understand the terminology?" Classes of commands? All engines parts are of the same class? Understand the terminology. Why yes I do, but the author doesn't. Then it starts to wind up with: " So to answer the question of which to use where... use whichever fits your needs. That sounds like a cop-out answer," BECAUSE IT IS! It kind of makes me want to establish a Bulwer-Lytton contest for technical writing, if one doesn't already exist. Sorry for ranting, but for some reason this one really set me off. -- Rick DeNatale Visit the Project Mercury Wiki Site http://www.mercuryspacecraft.com/ -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/
