A Brief Tutorial in Traditional vs. OO Programming Using Java

Object-orientation (OO) is a relatively recent approach to addressing problems in systems development. However, OO is viewed by many as difficult to learn. This paper discusses how object-oriented programming is taught at one university and directly compares, through the use simple, straightforward examples, the traditional and OO methods of programming using the Java language. The paper demonstrates that in many important ways, OO is definitely superior to traditional methods, yet simple to understand.

Keywords: object-orientation, object-oriented programming, structured programming, systems development
