“My duty as a teacher is to train, educate future programmers.”
Tip: press → for another quote, C to copy, S to share.
Nevertheless, I consider OOP as an aspect of programming in the large that is, as an aspect that logically follows programming in the small and requires sound knowledge of procedural programming.
But active programming consists of the design of new programs, rather than contemplation of old programs.
A good designer must rely on experience, on precise, logic thinking and on pedantic exactness. No magic will do.
My being a teacher had a decisive influence on making language and systems as simple as possible so that in my teaching, I could concentrate on the essential issues of programming rather than on details of language and notation.
