everything is an object

  • Article

I’m really enjoying reading Object Thinking. I’m only reading about a page a day, but it’s all good.

I’m currently in Chapter 3, reading the section titled “Four Presuppositions”:

To those already part of the object culture, the following statements are obvious (“they go without saying”) and obviously necessary as prerequisites to object thinking

The first is “Everything is an object”, and I’ve been churning this one in my head pretty heavily since I read it.

The interesting examples for me have been Procedure and Human. Humans provide a service to software, like making a decision or providing confirmation.

    Kevin: Is there a difference between an object and a function? If so, why does there need to be?
