Stroustrup) doubts its real capabilities for large scale, complex systems development (check his Web site) –Requires long curve learning and hands-on training –Language support (read C++) it’s challenging –Better, pure OO programming languages, did not “catch” with the industry (Smalltalk, Eiffel, Modula 2, even Ada or Object Pascal!)

2. April 10, 1999 Dr. Cliff Kettemborough, University of Redlands, Lead Adjunct Faculty2 Object-Orientation (OO) (2 of 2) –Many people take VB as an OO language (!?…) –Java may help - if Microsoft wants so... Component-based Architecture (1 of 2) –Even though “jury’s out” on OO –“A software component is a program element with the following properties: It may be used by other program elements, or clients. The clients and their authors do not need to be known to the component’s authors.” - B. Meyer TECHNOLOGY TRENDS and FUTURE NEEDS (CK) - 2

April 10, 1999 Dr. Cliff Kettemborough, University of Redlands, Lead Adjunct Faculty6 Network-centered, Client/Server, and Web Architecture (1 of 2) –Less and less applications are stand-alone, static, or in batch processing mode –Client/Server the architecture of early ‘90s “jury’s still out” on cost/benefits/affordability tolls and technology support –Web architectures the emergence of e-commerce and e-transactions Intranets and Extranets are everywhere TECHNOLOGY TRENDS and FUTURE NEEDS (CK) - 6
