Structured analysis and object oriented analysis (panel session)

Abstract

He compared the functional object paradigm transition with a religious conversion. He objected to the “in order to see the light-forget everything and start over again with an elementary course in Smalltalk” approach espoused by many. He presented OOA as an “interestingly different” paradigm from the functional paradigm. He reminded us that OOA still has its roots in what it is trying to distinguish itself from.
