[DUG] OO Programming

[Conor Boyd]

Probably because I don't put the acronym RAD and the word "programming"
together as you have done.
 
>From my POV, RAD is generally taken to mean what the acronym stands for,
Rapid Application Development; i.e. drop some components on to a form,
wire up a few event handlers, voila.
 
Doesn't mean I don't "do" OOP in event handlers and the little amount of
code that is required in such an app, but IMHO you're comparing apples
with oranges.
 
RAD does not lend itself to larger apps which are intended to be easily
maintainable and intended to be worked on by a team of developers.
 
Cheers,
 
C.

Just an interesting observation - why do people think that RAD
programming excludes OOP programming?

RAD is a methodology, OOP is a programming style.
