Why inheritence is Evil Deja VU ??
      #5322 - 01/13/04 10:44 AM

This article has the looks of the "why inheritence is evil" gibberish Alan posted several months ago. Either he has ran out of significant ideas to expound upon. Or, he gets off on hearing himself talk.

You're foolish in thinking so. Object Oriented programming is definetely something needing to be preached to break the bad procedural programming habits floating about. Easily 2-3 minutes can be spent surfing the web to find code that is so unreadable, let alone, unusable that it makes most of us having to rewrite the code, simply to understand it.

I have spent most of my college education researching OOP/OOD and have only found Alan Holob anywhere near the ideal coding style.

In my opinion, his ideas are already available, but most books, articles, and teachers don't know how to implement it. They only have the theory of what OOP is and then explain the old procedural style approach.

If only more programmers were capable of separating the concerns of objects as well as Alan, would we be able to truly share code efficiently.

Please, keep up the good work.

Greg

Wow, this Alan Holob guy must be brilliant! He's the only one who understands this OOP stuff? I had no idea, he was so much smarter than the rest of us. May Allen Holub should read his stuff too.
