Presentation: "It Is Possible to Do Object-Oriented Programming in Java"

Time: Friday 12:05 - 13:05

Location: Elizabeth Windsor, Fifth Floor

Abstract:
OO means different things to different people, but they normally focus on defining terms such as encapsulation, polymorphism and inheritance, and talk about data abstraction, abstract data types and so on. In this talk we take a brief look at what one particular view of OO suggests and what it means for regular Java programmers and their practice.
