As a result of the dissolution of the internet startup I worked for, 4 of us original employees have gained ownership of the company's domain name: OOP.COM
I'm in the process of determining how best to sell it. I've gotten evaluations of between $2,500 and $55,000. Anyone have any suggestions?
And it works with the AMERICAN-MADE version, with WORLDWIDE DISTRIBUTION possibilities.....
There's no stock with the symbol OOP (at least not in the US), but run a Google search on "oop" and see if it pulls up companies who use that acronym.
That's news to me... I'm a graduate CS student. It would also be news to my professors. Are you just saying it's not the be-all and end-all? Aspect-oriented programming may be up and coming but it can't do much without OOP.
No... I am pointing out that oop is an overloaded term. Programmers are limited by the "feature-set" of a particular implementation. When I am told a project will use oop, I always have to ask what language and what IDE in order to project the limitations (portability, architecture, communication flow, maintenance, enhancements, plug-ins, ..etc).
Oh, I see! I thought you were attacking the concept of OOP, which made no sense to me (admittedly I have been educated into a very pro-OOP bias).
To me, OOP is really more of a philosophy than anything else. The principle ideas - reuse code where possible, don't do two things in one piece of code, don't make program flow dependent on where the code is - can be applied, I think, even in a situation you're talking about.
I totally agree. I see OOP principles not only in application development, but in "life" as well. Many things can be seen as "objects," after all....
That I can agree with.
