[sf-lug] Tutor me in Programming?

[jim]

   there's another general idea you might 
keep in mind: what is the state of the 
data at any particular time. 
   in procedural programming (scripting) 
the data tends to be isolated in functions 
or global to the entire program. so as the 
program runs, which function is "live" and 
what's the state of its data. where does 
the program get its data and what should 
it do to process it? 
   in object oriented programming, the data 
is in objects, which ordinarily should be 
thought of as a data set with some 
functionality, encapsulated together as a 
unit. when an object is instantiated, what 
is its initial state? if some external 
part of the program works with the object, 
does any of the data in the object change: 
i.e. is the object now different. where 
does each object get its data from and 
should the object change state or act as 
a filter?
