	plope - Object Orientation
		An object's data is defined by its attributes, or pieces of data that describe aspects of the object.
		The key difference between a method and a function is that a method is "bound" to, or attached to, an object: instead of operating solely on "external" data that is passed to it via arguments, it may also operate on the attributes of the object to which it is bound.
		Object instances have a specific lifetime, which is typically controlled by either a programmer or a user of the system in which the objects "live".

		According to the object-oriented principles, the verb is attached to the object and logic associated to the requirement is handled in the object.
		The structure and behavior of an object are defined by a class, which is a definition, or blueprint, of all objects of a specific type.
		Also, another common example is that a person object created from a child class cannot become an object of parent class because a child class and a parent class inherit a person class but class-based languages mostly do not allow to change the kind of class of the object at runtime.

		Object s - packaging data and functionality together into units within a running computer program ; object s are the basis of modularity and structure in an object-oriented computer program.
		An object is defined by a class, which is a definition, or blueprint, of all objects of a specific type.
		An object is similar to a structure, with the addition of method pointers, member access control, and an implicit data member which locates instances of the class (i.e.: actual objects of that class) in the class hierarchy (essential for runtime inheritance features).

	Object-oriented programming - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Inheritance - organizing and facilitates polymorphism and encapsulation by permitting objects to be defined and created that are specialized types of already-existing objects - these can share and extend their behavior without reimplementing that behavior.
		For example, checking the type of an object instead of its membership is a common antipattern that counteracts the benefits of inheritance and polymorphism.
		The concept of objects and instances in computing had its first major breakthrough with the PDP-1 system at MIT which was probably the earliest example of capability based architecture.

	Object Orientation in Python
		In this article, we'll take a look at what object orientation is, the benefits it provides programmers and its impact on the programming community.
		Object orientation isn't a simple string spat out sending a greeting to the world.
		Object orientation isn't a variable modified by an external function, either.

		This is typically done by grouping objects into classes, and defining classeses as extensions of existing classes, thus and grouping classes into trees or lattices reflecting behavioral commonality.
		In procedural languages, OOP often appears as a form where data types are extended to behave like an object in OOP, very similar to an abstract data type with an extension such as inheritance.
		In this model, objects are entities that combine state (i.e., data), behavior (i.e., procedures, or methodss) and identity (unique existence among all other objects).

	Modular Object Orientation Explained
		The concept of object orientation was first introduced in 1967 when it was first implemented in a language known as Simula.
		Such programs are also limited in that their "object oriented world" is limited to their own locale, resulting in one methodology being used internally, and the methodology of the target system being used externally.
		In summary, while the theory behind object orientation is no way in dispute, it can only ever be as good as the method of implementation that has been used.

	ALU: Object Orientation
		This function object may then be passed as input to other functions, perhaps be composed with other functions, and eventually, applied to inputs to produced a value.
		Objects can be defined in terms of functions that encapsulate certain data, and operations on objects can be defined by functions encapsulating the objects.
		The behavior of operations on objects (methods) are themselves defined as first-class objects, which can be specialized by the programmer.

	An Introduction to Object Orientation
		Object orientation is an approach (not a specific tool) that is organized around objects rather than actions, data, or logic.
		OO is organized around objects, their interface, how the objects communicate with each other, their state at a given instance, etc. Thinking of analysis and design of software as objects is very important because humans think in terms of objects.
		Object Instantiation - The language must allow the instantiation of classes as an object and allow the developer to “call” the methods and use the properties of that object.

	Journal of Vision - Incidental vs. deliberate coding of object orientation across eye movements, by Eccelpoel & ...
		This could mean that transsaccadic integration subserves object identification and that object orientation, unlike object position, is an integral part of the object representations that are matched to achieve identification.
		To investigate whether orientation is automatically coded or only plays a role when viewers are explicitly monitoring orientation changes, we conducted a study in which orientation was irrelevant to performance and sensitivity to intrasaccadic orientation changes was measured implicitly.
		During inspection, intrasaccadic orientation changes were executed and subsequent object fixation times were analyzed as a function of orientation continuity and semantic relations between objects.

	Scans pick up object orientation TRN 022504
		The method could be used to inspect the orientation and shapes of manufactured goods, and also for face recognition, according to the researchers.
		A later scan from one angle can be compared to this mapped to determine the orientation of the object regardless of the object's orientation or scale, according to the researchers.
		The key to detecting object orientation from every angle was mathematically converting the three-dimensional scan map to a series of points on a sphere.

	Object-Orientation 101
		Objects have labels in the standard UML format “name: ClassName” where “name” is optional (objects that have not been given a name on the diagram are called anonymous objects).
		Class normalization is a process by which you reorganize the structure of your object schema in such a way as to increase the cohesion of classes while minimizing the coupling between them.
		Another common approach to improving object schemas is refactoring (Fowler 1999), an approach overviewed in Database Refactoring.

	Object Reorientation: Generic Functions
		The fundamental idea of object orientation is that a powerful way to organize a program is to define data types and then associate operations with those data types.
		In particular, you want to be able to invoke an operation and have the exact behavior determined by the type of the object or objects on which the operation was invoked.
		However, object orientation didn't really take off until the 1980s when the first widely available version of Smalltalk was released, followed by the release of C++ a few years later.

	Delphi Basics : Object Orientation overview
		Object orientation radically changed the face of programming for many people.
		Objects also allowed events, such as mouse clicks, to be handled neatly - a button object could call a routine (method) of another object when clicked.
		Polymorphism is defined as the ability for related, but different objects to implement the same method in their own way.

		One of these window objects recognizes that the mouse is within its borders and takes care of it.
		Drawing on the screen is a responsibility of a window object, but it is an activity that requires cooperation between window object and the windowing environment.
		Any such object represents a button on the screen that is ready to be pushed down.

	Object-Oriented Programming Concepts
		You need to understand what an object is, what a class is, how objects and classes are related, and how objects communicate by using messages.
		Software objects are often used to model real-world objects you find in everyday life.
		A class is a blueprint or prototype that defines the variables and the methods common to all objects of a certain kind.

	lua-users wiki: Object Orientation Tutorial
		The constructor is a function which, when called, sets up a new table (our instance object) and attaches the class metatable to it.
		Finally, the metatable is simply a metatable which redirects unrecognized events to the class method table (as well as possibly handling events itself).
		Regardless how it is declared, a method expects that first argument passed in is the object to be acted on.

	Elements of Object Orientation
		In Java however, a class may have a set of values germane to all object instances of the class; such attributes are refered to as class variables (as opposed to object or instance variables that are associated with the individual instances of a class).
		An object is an instance of a class -- an occurrence, or a 'concrete representative of' or 'example of' a class.
		In both classes and objects, the attributes that apply (data types) and the methods or operations that act on them (functions) are encapsulated into a single software artifact that can only be accessed or effected by means of the methods, which serve as the interface to the objects generated from the class.

	Object Orientation: Making the Transition by Meilir Page-Jones
		Object orientation is particularly susceptible to the “Fad of the Year” crash, because plenty of managers, egged on by vendors, have been stricken by the Miracle Weapon Syndrome and demand that this new technology yield instant results.
		The result will be that object orientation will get tossed into the shop’s swirling vortex of various techniques as just “another thing.” Management will give object orientation no support, most of its potential promise will go unrealized and — apart from a few die-hard zealots — object orientation will rapidly perish in ignominy.
		Their knowledge of object orientation is profound enough to be able to train others in its use.

		The Object Systems Group is a research group at the Centre Universitaire d'Informatique of the University of Geneva under the direction of Prof.
		Safeguards are provided, both in the semantics of operations on stateful objects and in the type system, to minimise the problems associated with introducing state.
		Object technology is the critical enabler for this discipline because it permits the fundamental elements of a business design, such as customers and products, to be represented directly in the form of executable business objects.

	What is object-oriented programming? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary
		A type of programming in which programmers define not only the data type of a data structure, but also the types of operations (functions) that can be applied to the data structure.
		One of the principal advantages of object-oriented programming techniques over procedural programming techniques is that they enable programmers to create modules that do not need to be changed when a new type of object is added.

	TDAN Dave Hay - OO and IE - Analysis Process
		Unfortunately, to the extent that it is done, data analysis typically only addresses the objects seen by the users, without trying to understand their inherent structure.
		A second problem with the object-oriented approach to data is that it tends to identify object classes simply from the use cases, as the objects seen by the potential system users.
		The business objects described in use cases are those that the individual sees in his own area of activity.

	Understanding Object Oriented Programming
		Object oriented programming attempts to remove all such ad-hoc decision making.
		Here we have turned the OS objects into singletons, so there can be only one such object in each of these classes.
		If it is not, then the factory wouldn't return the objects in the hash table, but would return clones of them instead.
