Robert, Without a doubt, it takes knowledge and skill to "do things right" in OO. However, I do think OO is a discipline and it does take willpower and determination together with knowledge and skill to "do things right." Often, things were done wrong but not corrected even when they are discovered because they were 1. done by higher ranked developers, 2. done for a while or in too many places, 3. insert your favorite scenarios. It is willpower and determination of OO discipline that is going to lead us to break through these hurdles created by our very own minds. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Patrick Ma < pma@partssolution.com > partsSolution, Inc. < http://www.partssolution.com > IBM Certified VisualAge for Smalltalk Developer < SmallNews - a Smalltalk UQWK editor for offline news editing >
