Hi > >I'm getting a 404 not found on that URL. Please check it. > Oops - silly typo - and I double checked it too! Here is the address: http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Lab/6888/prpats.htm Actually, this is a pretty interesting site. The root is at: http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Lab/6888/index.html It is a pretty thought provoking critique of OOP as a tool for small to medium business projects - helped give me the confidence to stick with a procedural approach. His style is pretty combative, which will put some backs up, but it makes for entertaining reading. The site is a bit shambolic, but if you dig around you will find about 30 papers and lots of good links too. I particularly like his concept of Table Oriented Programming: http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Lab/6888/top.htm He shows how to use various kinds of external configuration approaches to increase flexibility and reduce maintenance. Good stuff, IMHO Geoff Caplan
