SLOG 1: Week 3

This week we've been learning about object oriented programming, as opposed to the typical script style programming that we were taught in CSC108. I've learned that it can be more efficient to integrate the concept of an object into your programming rather than using structures of code and data. This also makes it easier to maintain, understand, and edit your programs. By using objects in the way that we are learning to, it's makes our programs easier for a layman to understand, because objects are usually related to real world ideas like cash registers, menus, or shapes. This makes the gap between programmers and coders even smaller. I personally prefer the new style of programming because of this fact, it feels much more organic and as long as you have covered some basic concepts, it's relatively easy to understand what other programs are trying to accomplish.
