Ron Shultz has argued that OO development is not a replacement for life-cycle methodologies like information engineering, and I tend to agree. I am not sure that I agree with his perception that everyone in this group sees it as a complete development life-cycle technology. My own view of it is that it replaces a bunch of development techniques in the life cycle, but that you still need a theoretical/practical framework that allows for things like user interface considerations, management perogatives, market forces, and other exogenous factors that affect development but are not part of *software* design and implementation. -- | ...we have to look for routes of power our teachers never | imagined, or were encouraged to avoid.
