Teaching object-oriented concepts to graduate and professional software developers
David M. West · 1992
This article summarizes a discussion and presented paper "Four Yards and a Cloud of Dust: Teaching Objects to Graduate Software Developers" from the 1992 OOPSLA Conference.The relative immaturity of 00 approaches makes teaching them somewhat difficult.This is particularly true when your students are accomplished software professionals and graduate students.One way to tackle this problem is to provide a synthetic philosophical and methodological foundation upon which discussions of difficult or confusing issues can be constructed.This approach is currently used in our two semester 00 development course sequence.
