Topic: Object-oriented


  
 Object-oriented programming - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Objects - Packaging data and functionality together into units within a running computer program; objects are the basis of modularity and structure in an object-oriented computer program.
The concept of objects and instances in computing had its first major breakthrough with the PDP-1 system at MIT which was probably the earliest example of capability based architecture.
OOP is a decomposition paradigm for program code, not a model for computation.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object-oriented_programming

  
 What Is an Object?
This conceptual picture of an object — a nucleus of variables packaged within a protective membrane of methods — is an ideal representation of an object and is the ideal that designers of object-oriented systems strive for.
Everything that the software object knows (state) and can do (behavior) is expressed by the variables and the methods within that object.
The object can maintain private information and methods that can be changed at any time without affecting the other objects that depend on it.

 A Survey of Object-Oriented Forths
Objects are unnamed (headerless) storage in the dictionary.
Seventeen Object Oriented Forths have been surveyed, and are summarized in Table 1.
Objects are statically allocated, but dynamically allocated memory can be "cast" as objects.

 Basic Object-Oriented Concepts
A heterogeneous composite object is a composite object that is conceptually composed of component objects that are not all conceptually the same.
A homogeneous composite object is a composite object that is conceptually composed of component objects that are all conceptually the same.
Object cohesion, on the other hand, is a measure of how logically related the components of the external view of an object are to each other.
http://www.toa.com/pub/oobasics/oobasics.htm

  
 Object-Oriented
Might or might not be the same as object depending on the language.
Everything is an object - all values are objects.
When I was at MIT in 1979 the term "object" still felt new and stylish.
http://mumble.net/~jar/articles/oo.html

  
 Object Oriented Programming
Depending on the class of the object, different code will be executed by the computer.
Go on to an introduction to Objective-C, an extension of C which was designed for object oriented programming.
Programs must be thought of as a collection of cooperating pieces of data (objects) rather than a thread of control.

 Object-Oriented Books
Object technology is the software technology of the future.
Object Technology for Scientific Computing explains in detail how to apply object technology to the development of numerical software to numerical computation, increasingly important in areas such as physics and mathematics as well as banking and other financial applications.

 perl.com: Object-Oriented Perl
object is in the Request "class" -- a class is the "type of thing" that the object is, and classes are how objects locate their methods.
That's what an object really is: it's something that the module can rearrange and use any representation of your data that it likes so that it's most efficient to operate on in the future.
(a constructor is just a method that creates a new object) to do all the pre-processing on our array of lines once and for all, and then store the subject, sender, and all sorts of other fields into some hash keys.
http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2001/11/07/ooperl.html

  
 Object-Oriented Software Design and Programming [encyclopedia]
The computer accesses an object through the use of one of the object's methods.
The client does not have to be aware of where the object is located, its programming language, its operating system, or any other system aspects that are not part of an object's interface.
ORB support in a network of clients and servers on different computers means that a client program (which may itself be an object) can request services from a server program or object without having to know where the server is in a distributed network or what the interface to the server program looks like.
http://kosmoi.com/Computer/Programming/OO

  
 Object-Oriented Programming Concepts
An object is a software bundle of related variables and methods.
You need to understand what an object is, what a class is, how objects and classes are related, and how objects communicate by using messages.
A class is a blueprint or prototype that defines the variables and the methods common to all objects of a certain kind.
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/concepts

  
 A Laboratory For Teaching Object-Oriented Thinking
The most difficult problem in teaching object- oriented programming is getting the learner to give up the global knowledge of control that is possible with procedural programs, and rely on the local knowledge of objects to accomplish their tasks.
Rather than try to make object design as much like procedural design as possible, we have found that the most effective way of teaching the idiomatic way of thinking with objects is to immerse the learner in the "object-ness" of the material.
One of the contexts in which we have used CRC cards is a three-hour class entitled "Thinking with Objects," which is intended for computing professionals who have programmed, but whose jobs do not necessarily involve programming every day.

 What is object-oriented programming? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary
Find answers to what object oriented software is by descriptions of its elements, sample code, and brief descriptions of object oriented software products.
A type of programming in which programmers define not only the data type of a data structure, but also the types of operations (functions) that can be applied to the data structure.
One of the principal advantages of object-oriented programming techniques over procedural programming techniques is that they enable programmers to create modules that do not need to be changed when a new type of object is added.

 Understanding Object Oriented Programming
The DefaultBox is a kind of Null Object.
This programmer sees the essence of object oriented programming as the naive object-oriented programmer may not.
Here we have turned the OS objects into singletons, so there can be only one such object in each of these classes.
http://csis.pace.edu/~bergin/patterns/ppoop.html

  
 OOP - a Whatis.com definition - see also: object-oriented programming, object-oriented
A real instance of a class is called (no surprise here) an "object" or, in some environments, an "instance of a class." The object or class instance is what you run in the computer.
Once you've identified an object, you generalize it as a class of objects (think of Plato's concept of the "ideal" chair that stands for all chairs) and define the kind of data it contains and any logic sequences that can manipulate it.
Since a class defines only the data it needs to be concerned with, when an instance of that class (an object) is run, the code will not be able to accidentally access other program data.
http://whatis.techtarget.com/definition/0,289893,sid9_gci212681,00.html

  
 object-oriented programming from FOLDOC
Thus the interface to objects is well defined, and allows the code implementing the methods to be changed so long as the interface remains the same.
Operations on the data can _only_ be performed via these methods, which are common to all objects that are instances of a particular "class".
The method name is looked up in the object's class to find out how to perform that operation on the given object.

 Gamasutra - Features - "Object-Oriented Game Development: Iterative Development Techniques"
A level 1 object has a null implementation; a level 4 object is optimal.
The second point to note is that Object Oriented development is perfectly suited to a level-based scheme (and conversely procedural development does not adapt as easily).
The intent is that the object shows the most basic behaviour required by the design without proceeding to full implementation, and therefore integration problems at the object level will show up sooner rather than later.

 OOPic OOP
Computer languages that are oriented with these Object-Oriented Concepts tap into this natural human tendency resulting in an easy to understand and use language.
It should also be noted that each instance of the objects work continuously and simultaneously in the background just as the cars do in the example.
During program development, these objects can be named appropriately and then used with simplified statements like Motor1.Speed = 50.

 Object-oriented database articles and products
An ODBMS makes database objects appear as programming language objects in one or more object programming languages.
When you integrate database capabilities with object programming language capabilities, the result is an object database management system (ODBMS).
This is because an ODBMS stores exactly the same object model that is used at the application level, both development and maintenance costs can be reduced.

 Shore Project Home Page
The objective of the Shore project is to design, implement, and evaluate a persistent object system that will serve the needs of a wide variety of target applications including hardware and software CAD systems, persistent programming languages, geographic information systems, satellite data repositories, and multi-media applications.
Shore expands on the basic capabilities of the widely-used EXODUS Storage Manager (developed at Wisconsin, funded by ARPA) in a number of ways including support for typed objects, multiple programming languages, a ``Unix-like'' hierarchical name space for named objects, and a Unix-compatible interface to objects with a ``text'' field.
The library takes care of fetching objects on demand to an LRU client-level object cache, flushing changes to the server on transaction commit, and swizzing and unswizzling references as necessary.

 The Object-Oriented Database System Manifesto
These are complex objects, object identity, encapsulation, types or classes, inheritance, overriding combined with late binding, extensibility, computational completeness, persistence, secondary storage management, concurrency, recovery and an ad hoc query facility.
These are the programming paradigm, the representation system, the type system, and uniformity.
We have taken a position, not so much expecting it to be the final word as to erect a provisional landmark to orient further debate.

 Amazon.com: Books: Object Oriented Perl
Conway's Object Oriented Perl is the definitive work on object-oriented Perl programming and will probably remain so for some time (if not indefinitely).
I was a bit skeptical when I was first handed a copy of Object Oriented Perl because I tend to be biased toward O'Reilly books.
For example, he covers blessing every type of reference possible, why you would want to bless a particular type of reference and what the pros and cons are of each approach.

 Christopher Alexander: An Introduction for Object-Oriented Designers
Indeed, since patterns can describe concepts and structures (e.g., coordinated groups) that are not themselves objects, the term pattern may be more fitting than class (or alternatively, the notion of a class should be broadened) at least at the level of OO design variously termed ``abstract'', ``architectural'', and/or ``functional'' (see., e.g., [20]).
Even though exemplified with architectural artifacts, Alexander's concerns and methods apply equally well to software systems, subsystems, objects, etc. While there are many obvious differences between houses and software, most are matters of degree at this level of discussion.

 Object-Oriented Software Construction, Second Edition
A definitive guide to object oriented programming and design.
Object-Oriented Software Construction, second edition is the comprehensive reference on all aspects of object technology, from design principles to O-O techniques, Design by Contract, O-O analysis, concurrency, persistence, abstract data types and many more.
In my unbiased opinion [...] it is destined to become the comprehensive and definitive reference for most methodological and technical questions raised by object technology.

Meyer pays attention to techniques, such as classes, objects, memory management, and more, returning to each technique and polishing his readers' knowledge of it as he explains how to employ it "well." In a section on advanced topics, Meyer explores interesting and relevant topics, such as persistent objects stored in a database.
He then explains all the key criteria that define an object- oriented approach to a problem.

 Object Oriented Games
There are several other Adventure Development Systems, all more-or-less object oriented.
NPC's should be able to communicate with each other (like in Lure of the Temptress), perform actions on objects, carry them, etcetera.
Graphics would certainly be nice but any sort of non-static graphics is hard to do in any Adventure development system I've ever seen -- they're not oriented towards that sort of stuff.

For example, the Self system uses this runtime "type/class" information of the prototypical objects to customize and recompile methods under the covers and on the fly which enables some performance optimizations.
There are primitives, and your classes are not first class objects.
Other uses are certainly possible such as using the information for Refactoring.

 Building Object-Oriented Database Interfaces in PHP: Abstracting Database Tables
By following this generic rule on a given database table, we're able to build programmatically a class that contains all of the core DML statements required to manipulate table rows, using the methods provided by the class, in this way acting as single access points to the table data.
Stepping back to the first article, I've shown a "DBIGenerator" class that quickly creates DB interface classes, spawning the corresponding objects to provide access to a given database table.
As you probably remember, this class doesn't scale well in real applications, since it works with a hard-coded database table and fields, thereby limiting significantly its flexibility and portability.

 Object-oriented ActionScript
Organizing the code into classes makes it easier to create a program that maps well to real-world problems with real-world components.
It groups related functions and variables together into separate classes, each of which is a self-contained part of the program with its own responsibilities.
OOP is designed to make complex applications more manageable by breaking them down into self-contained, interacting modules.

 AllRefer.com - object-oriented programming (Computers And Computing) - Encyclopedia
Each module, or object, combines data and procedures (sequences of instructions) that act on the data; in traditional, or procedural, programming the data are separated from the instructions.
A group of objects that have properties, operations, and behaviors in common is called a class.
By reusing classes developed for previous applications, new applications can be developed faster with improved reliability and consistency of design.
