Why Are People Talking About “Good OO”?

Presented by: Thomas Mercer-Hursh, Ph.D., Computing Integrity
While there has been discussion about best practices in ABL programming as long as there has been ABL programming, with the advent of Object-Oriented features in the language there has been a sharper sense of talking about “good OO” in defining these best practices. This presentation will review the history and character of best practice recommendations in ABL with the aim of clarifying why “good OO” is a stronger best practice recommendation than has been historically true of ABL.
