Proceural Programming vs. Object Oriented Programming

[pitfiend]

I've seen people, especially those who grew in Fortran age, to incline more into procedural ways and be wary of any modern programming techniques and tools. I myself have worked in procedural and even in assembler quite a lot, but I think you shouldn't fear to leave your comfort zone and try to learn something new. Who knows, you might even have some fun.

That for sure. Some months ago, I find myself explaining the benefits to use an rdms instead of flat tables, my customer grown up working with isam files in times of mainframes, cobol and punched cards. When I show him the virtues of visual development and sql language, he was in shock. Right now (6 months after) he still wonders about why he didn't have this nice tech on his time.

Learning is a continual process. No matter if you are 80 years old, if you stop learning, you're dead and wasting our time. Sorry if it sounds rude, truth is rude, life shows no mercy for the weak.

This non-sense is going weird.

Same level of shock happens IME when you're trying to explain "NoSQL" and "eventual consistency" to RDBMS users. ;-)
