Object Oriented Development

Overview: About thirty years ago, two computer scientists at the Norwegian Computing Institute came up with a new way of doing simulations. Describing systems (like highways and airports) in terms of entities they called "objects" (like vehicles and passengers), their simulations accounted for interactions among these objects. To put their ideas into the computer, the language Simula was developed. Working with Simula over the next several years, they noticed that objects with similar characteristics could be grouped into classes, and that classes could have subclasses. Modifications of Simula incorporated these notions. Kristen Nygaard and Old-Johan Dahl's work eventually set the stage for Object Oriented Programming (OOP), a way of thinking that has pervaded the software world. A decade ago, computing theoreticians were enamored of its modeling concepts, but programs designed in the object oriented fashion took far too much time to run. Since then, hardware has advanced and object oriented program performance has improved significantly. Today, many believe that OOP is one of the best ways to design databases, expert systems, graphic user interfaces, and a wide variety of other applications.
