POIs OOP abused in universities?
text
Body
copied!<p>I started my college two years ago, and since then I keep hearing "design your classes first". I really ask myself sometimes, should my solution to be a bunch of objects in the first place! Some say that you don't see its benefits because your codebase is very small - university projects. The project size excuse just don't go down my throat. If the solution goes well with the project, I believe it should be the right one also with the macro-version of that project.</p> <p>I am not saying OOP is bad, I just feel it is abused in classrooms where students like me are told day and night that OOP is <em>the right way</em>.</p> <p>IMHO, the proper answer shouldn't come from a professor, I prefer to hear it from real engineers in the field.</p> <p><strong>Is OOP the right approach always?</strong></p> <p><strong>When is OOP the best approach?</strong></p> <p><strong>When is OOP a bad approach?</strong></p> <p>This is a very general question. I am not asking for definite answers, just some real design experience from the field.</p> <p>I don't care about performance. I am asking about design. I know it is engineering in real life.</p> <p>==================================================================================</p> <p><strong>Thankful for all contributions. I chose Nosredna answer, because she addressed my questions in general and convinced me that I was wrong about the following : <em>If the solution goes well with the project, I believe it should be the right one also with the macro-version of that project.</em></strong></p>
