Borklog: One entry

5 November 2000

Went to the WPLUG monthly general user meeting yesterday. Rick Smith gave a talk on "Intro to object oriented thinking" using lots of props, including knives, bowls, and rolled oats. Not a lot of revelation about OO programming (having done it perfessionally for a number of years), but the talk and the technique of the talk was fun to watch. The driving example was cooking fudge, showing it in the structured-programming top-down method before talking about it from an OO point of view. The real kicker was a slide showing the recipe as it would be expressed in functional programming. And Rick nearly got all the way through it without talking about Revision Control.
