Object Orientation is a golden dream, a lovely ideal, but we program for the real world. OO isn't always the best solution -- some managers seem to insist on doing a project 'OO' so they can put another line on their resume. Not because it makes sense technically.

For example .. I'm writing a quick script to mirror a web site. Am I using OO? No, not really. I'm just getting the job done.

Another project I'm working on is quite large. Will I be using OO? Perhaps it's not pure OO, but I will certainly write modules to handle the two (so far) classes I have. And, yes, one class inherits the other. But I'm doing it that way because it's the right tool for the job. Not because everything looks like a nail.

It seems that if you mention a project you worked on was 'OO' you suddenly appear much more intelligent, technically competent and attractive to the other sex. Bollocks.

'OO' is one way to do the job. Period.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
