Note: object-oriented programming converts case statements into procedure calls, organized by data [»cbb_1990, OK]

Quote: a behavioral building block hides its combination of state and process inside itself, with access only through messages

Quote: both object-oriented and process paradigms based on message passing with clear separation between interface and implementation

Quote: object-oriented programming is the antithesis of functional programming; i.e., mutable object state vs. immutable, eternal values [»taivA4_1993]

Quote: object-oriented programming started in 1949 with using Monte_Carlo methods for a heavy water reactor [»nygaK10_1983, OK]

Quote: Smalltalk is based on object-oriented processing and a bitmap for visual display [»ingaDH8_1981a]

Quote: HyperCard scripts based on messages send to objects with inheritance [»willG12_1987]

Quote: OOPC programs are almost as efficient as C because primitive operations are handled in C [»coxBJ1_1983]

Quote: operating system research influenced C++: protection from access rights, initialization from capabilities, const from read/write access protection, exception handling from fault-tolerant systems [»stroB_1994]

Quote: Sketchpad can perform basic operations on any drawing part (e.g., display); allows changing the specific details without changing the general parts [»suthIE5_1963]

Quote: Sketchpad includes general functions that are independent of type; e.g., expand an instance of a subpicture; powerful [»suthIE5_1963]

Quote: classes are a remodeling of records; hierarchical tree structure; members are objects; the prefix of a subclass is the higher level class [»dahlOJ_1967]

Quote: using MacApp for Intermedia, guarantees common functionality

Quote: developed Intermedia quickly by using object-oriented techniques [»yankN1_1988]
