Down with O.O.P. (Or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Love Object Oriented Programming)
Last night I dreamed I was at a Farmer’s Market. There were tables set up in grid format. I specifically remember looking at one table, admiring how well stacked with vegetables it was, yet confused as to why they interspersed lettuces with red peppers and purple cabbages.
I’ve heard it said that dreams are a way we try to make sense of our waking life. But cabbages? Really?
My waking life this weekend was spent mostly in frustration over Object Oriented Programming. (Corny joke alert:) I guess I’m not yet down with OOP. (Sorry. Had to. I guess I’ve always been a little Naughty By Nature.)
After completing our SoundCloud API project, I still didn’t think I had a proper handle on the concept of OOP, so I went back to work through some of our questions and notes from class.
There was one particular question that was giving me trouble. It was frustrating, to say the least, to feel like I barely understood what the question was asking. I tried working through it the best I could, but didn’t think I was on the right track. So I Slack-ed my instructor:
Me [7:40 PM]
[blah blah blah — paste code] … Am I on the right track with this?
