Object-oriented programming is the foundation of modern programming languages including C++, Java, C #, Visual Basic, .NET, Ruby, and Objective-C. In addition, objects are at the heart of many web technologies, such as j & # 097; vascript, Python, and PHP. Object-oriented programming provides the right design techniques, code portability and reuse, but in order to fully understand all this, you need to change your thinking. Developers who are new to object-oriented programming should not be tempted to go directly to a specific programming language (e.g., Objective-C, VB .NET, C++, C #, .NET, or Java) or modeling (e.g., UML), but instead take the time to master what author Matt Weisfeld calls object-oriented thinking.
