Fresh Start

Time for a fresh start and hopefully with my structured programming mindset, which almost didn't land me the job, will categorically be flushed out from my system and really start thinking OOP. I thought I was doing OOP at that time, but my boss upon interview, told me that what I was doing was structured programming.

Anyhow I'm excited to work here, now to survive the 3 mos. probation and stay here for good.

I wonder if I'll be able to speak T-SQL again :P

And what's wrong with structured programming? Sometimes, I feel like OOP is overrated. OOP has its place and not every problem requires an OOP solution. Heck, some OOP-demanding boss can't even distinguish a class method from an object method.

Anyway, goodluck to your job.

@Greg:

Agreed on "Nothing wrong with structured programming/OOP is overrated/OOP has its place, " It's just that the workplace I'm currently in does require you to think/breathe OOP.

I can assure you this boss of mine certainly knows what he's talking about.

Reviewing my post, certainly does sound that I belittle structure programming, I don't(T-SQL w/c I know by heart is procedural) I guess working for this company and getting a fresh start made me a wee bit excited. My apologies :)

you want to learn real OOP? learn Smalltalk ;)

after doing Smalltalk, you'll be able to apply its concepts to any OOP language.

@keith: thanks,

@cruizer: That's why when I borrowed Object-Oriented Analysis & Design with Applications 2nd Ed.by Booch, surprise surprise Smalltalk samples are abound...

jokiz:oo nga sayang eh.. pero I applied the day I left for the country 30-Oct, nagbakasakaling merong slot.. I think november nagkaroon ng post sa msforums and blog post ni lattex.. kaya although I mentioned lattex(and you guys(andre and you)) alot during the interview, sabi ng HR I should've been properly endorsed, so it won't count as EF hehehe, sorry jon :)
