A brief history of the object-oriented approach
Luiz Fernando Capretz · ACM SIGSOFT Software Engineering Notes · 2003
Unlike other fads, the object-oriented paradigm is here to stay. The road towards an object-oriented approach is described and several object-oriented programming languages are reviewed. Since the object-oriented paradigm promised to revolutionize software development, in the 1990s, demand for object-oriented software systems increased dramatically; consequently, several methodologies have been proposed to support software development based on that paradigm. Also presented are a survey and a classification scheme for object oriented methodologies.
