Post #27,782 by Arkadiy 2/8/02 9:37:57 AM Reply	Simple? You call fundamental difference in how people think "simple"? I disagree. My beef is not with tables. OO can meake good use of SQL, lookup tables, even tables containing code, although that's stretching it. My problem is that you don't see the relationship between action and actor. Apparently, for you, actions just happen, without any acting entity, or at least without a single main acting entity. That goes contrary to the way my brain works.

I disagree. << It is a much "cleaner" explanation than most others floated, especially those floated at the end of heated debates :-) >> My problem is that you don't see the relationship between action and actor. Apparently, for you, actions just happen, without any acting entity, or at least without a single main acting entity. << I see the relationship as open-ended and dynamic and multiple. I see the relationship to actors like local variables: created, used, then tossed away. IOW, the relationships are "encapsulated" within a given operation more or less. If you make it global, then you have more dependencies to change if the relationships change IMO. ________________ oop.ismad.com

I just don't get OO design decisions - (tablizer) - (88) - Jan. 29, 2002, 10:47:05 AM EST

I believe I understand why you have a problem - (ben_tilly) - (21) - Jan. 29, 2002, 12:53:33 PM EST

Well, my philosophy says... - (ben_tilly) - Jan. 29, 2002, 04:04:15 PM EST

ADT's and Coddlets - (tablizer) - (18) - Jan. 29, 2002, 05:27:14 PM EST

Coddlets? - (Arkadiy) - (10) - Jan. 30, 2002, 10:23:26 AM EST

From the context: Applets + Codd = "Coddlets". - (CRConrad) - (9) - Jan. 30, 2002, 12:12:02 PM EST

And "little snippets of data structures" make no sence to me -NT - (Arkadiy) - (8) - Jan. 30, 2002, 02:19:53 PM EST

Me neither - but don't blame me; it's *his* concept! :-) -NT - (CRConrad) - Jan. 30, 2002, 05:12:56 PM EST

Virtual Structures - (tablizer) - (6) - Feb. 1, 2002, 02:23:51 PM EST

I understand all words - (Arkadiy) - (5) - Feb. 1, 2002, 02:27:03 PM EST

how about this then - (tablizer) - (4) - Feb. 1, 2002, 02:59:35 PM EST

Odd. Not a single mention of "coddlet" anywhere. - (Arkadiy) - (3) - Feb. 1, 2002, 03:39:25 PM EST

"A formula for a pattern or structure" -NT - (tablizer) - (2) - Feb. 1, 2002, 10:19:20 PM EST

Still odd. - (Arkadiy) - (1) - Feb. 2, 2002, 09:36:22 PM EST

Jay, where is your "Roles" link? -NT - (tablizer) - Feb. 2, 2002, 11:03:01 PM EST

I think you would prefer what Code Complete has to say - (ben_tilly) - (6) - Jan. 30, 2002, 11:00:53 AM EST

Abstraction level is relative and graph-like IMO - (tablizer) - (2) - Jan. 30, 2002, 02:25:20 PM EST

Nested abstractions do work in business - (ben_tilly) - (1) - Jan. 31, 2002, 10:18:01 AM EST

"Layers" is not appropriate for the most part - (tablizer) - Jan. 31, 2002, 01:41:57 PM EST

That's not the kind of post I 'd like to get... - (Arkadiy) - (65) - Jan. 30, 2002, 11:01:55 AM EST

Why the Tree focus? - (tablizer) - (64) - Jan. 31, 2002, 01:46:14 PM EST

No tree focus. - (Arkadiy) - (63) - Jan. 31, 2002, 01:59:03 PM EST

Have you thot of tables? - (tablizer) - (62) - Jan. 31, 2002, 04:36:56 PM EST

Not relevant. - (Arkadiy) - (61) - Jan. 31, 2002, 05:03:35 PM EST

what is wrong with them? - (tablizer) - (60) - Jan. 31, 2002, 09:16:05 PM EST

Bryce, please pay attention. - (static) - (3) - Jan. 31, 2002, 09:22:37 PM EST

seperation of concerns - (tablizer) - (2) - Feb. 1, 2002, 11:56:28 PM EST

Duh! - (Arkadiy) - (1) - Feb. 2, 2002, 09:39:10 PM EST

Perhaps p/r is moving above that -NT - (tablizer) - Feb. 2, 2002, 11:00:19 PM EST

Bryce, Static is right. - (Arkadiy) - (55) - Feb. 1, 2002, 09:48:27 AM EST

what is the goal? - (tablizer) - (54) - Feb. 1, 2002, 02:01:44 PM EST

The goal is to further the discussion. - (Arkadiy) - (53) - Feb. 1, 2002, 02:17:31 PM EST

that depends - (tablizer) - (52) - Feb. 1, 2002, 02:54:50 PM EST

OK, getting somewhere. - (Arkadiy) - (51) - Feb. 1, 2002, 03:35:06 PM EST

Now THAT is the crux.... - (folkert) - (1) - Feb. 1, 2002, 03:59:28 PM EST

only one fact here - (tablizer) - Feb. 1, 2002, 10:13:47 PM EST

I disagree - (tablizer) - (48) - Feb. 1, 2002, 10:04:19 PM EST

May be. - (Arkadiy) - (47) - Feb. 2, 2002, 09:24:21 PM EST

the calculation complexity may not even matter here - (tablizer) - (46) - Feb. 2, 2002, 11:14:00 PM EST

It does not matter indeed. - (Arkadiy) - (45) - Feb. 2, 2002, 11:52:14 PM EST

Regional Scope to the Rescue - (tablizer) - (44) - Feb. 3, 2002, 01:05:55 PM EST

Regional Scope - ok. - (Arkadiy) - (43) - Feb. 4, 2002, 10:40:53 AM EST

I think so - (tablizer) - (42) - Feb. 4, 2002, 01:31:55 PM EST

It was really C, not C++ - (Arkadiy) - (41) - Feb. 4, 2002, 04:38:07 PM EST

Spoken Language? - (tablizer) - (17) - Feb. 6, 2002, 06:43:02 PM EST

Hmmmm. Verbal thinkers versus visual thinkers - (tablizer) - (10) - Feb. 7, 2002, 12:51:58 AM EST

Seems like end of conversation, then. - (Arkadiy) - (6) - Feb. 7, 2002, 10:34:38 AM EST
