This is a good comparison. After over a year of working in ASP.NET,
which is also component-orientated, I'm just finally "getting it". One
thing that slowed me down is that a lot of newbie ASPX material is
focussed on pouring a "Classic" architecture into a component
environment. Old-wine-in-new-bottles doesn't work any better and can
even work worse. Once you get past action-orientation and start
thinking in components, everything comes together. But, hey, it took
me over year to migrate from procedural programming to OOP back in
19{cough}. :)
