 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.
According to the object-oriented principles, the verb is attached to the object and logic associated to the requirement is handled in the object.
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.

 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.

 Object-oriented programming - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In computer science, object-oriented programming, OOP for short, is a computer programming paradigm.
Object-oriented programming developed as the dominant programming methodology during the mid-1980s, largely due to the influence of C++, an extension of the C programming language.
Object — an instance of a class, an object (for example, "Lassie" the Dog) is the run-time manifestation (instantiation) of a particular exemplar of a class.

 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.

 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.

 Object-Oriented Software Design and Programming [encyclopedia]
Object-oriented programming is a method of software implementation in which programs are organized as cooperative collections of objects, each of which represents an instance of some class, and whose classes are all members of a hierarchy of classes united via inheritance relationship.
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.

 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.

 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.

 Object-oriented analysis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Key aspects of an object-oriented analysis model are basically the same as in object-oriented programming, but an analysis model is not limited to software systems.
The implementation constraints are decided by a process of object-oriented design, and many design patterns have been defined to solve these generic problems.
The behaviour of the system is achieved through collaboration between these objects, and the state of the system is the combined state of all the objects in it.

 Gamasutra - Features - "Object-Oriented Game Development: Iterative Development Techniques"
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).
A level 1 object has a null implementation; a level 4 object is optimal.
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.

 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.

 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.

 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.

 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.
