- jerf 15y agoHmm.... "I am skilled at object-oriented programming." Seems grammatically correct, everybody knows what I mean, there's no particular ambiguity in it... compare with "I am skilled within object-oriented programming." which as a native speaker I find clearly wrong. What exactly are you saying?
- aklein 15y agoI'm starting to split hairs here, but I'd say the skill lies mostly in the action of programming, and not in the methodological use of object-orientation. That is, you are a skilled programmer within that paradigm.
