Procedural programming versus object-oriented programming.

Humor, Programming 1 Minute

Procedural programming is frightening. The following is an example of procedural programming.

eat(you, apple); // Please do not eat me!

For someone who is unfamiliar with procedural programming this appears to be a threat that someone is going to eat you for dinner followed by an apple for desert!

Object-oriented programming makes the true intent of the function clear even to those who are unfamiliar with computer programming.

you.eat(apple);


This makes it very clear that you are eating an apple.

I am a self taught software engineer, currently employed by The Paciello Group (TPG), a Vispero™ company. I am very good at what I do and I very much enjoy it. My primary programming language is C++ but I have dabbled in Java, Python, and TCL. Most of the software I have worked on runs only under Microsoft Windows but I have dabbled in programming for GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, and Mac OS X. I also have experience in designing accessible applications and websites and accessibility testing.
