I agree with this post, and especially the main focus of the post, which seems to be: teach the basics before bogging students down in the crazy terminology-heavy industry we live in.
- Chirael 11y agoYes absolutely. I learned OO with programming in the early 90s, around the birth of the OO religion. So it's definitely in my mental toolbox if needed... But in practice I'd say I rarely, if ever, need it. The only time it's come up in the last 5 years was during a job interview, when I mentally did an eye roll and thought "oh god OOP stuff again" Granted, I do more glue programming and scripting, vs full-fledged app development. I'm sure if I was doing Android apps I'd be using ActiveWindowAppAdapterFactoryConstructor (q.v., programming in the kingdom of nouns) but thankfully that's not something I have to do (yet).
