Talk:Object-oriented design

Object Orientated Design (OOD) is the second stage in the object orientated software development cycle, the first stage being object orientated analysis(OOA), and the third being object orientated programming(OOP). Usually these are parts of a larger development cycle.
In essence object orientated design is to emphasize a problem from the perspective of objects, this is represented using UML.
OOD is used to expand on the outputs from Analysis to the level where programming can commence.

oOO

Is "oOO" in the lead sentence a typo? If not, it should be explained/linked. In any case, I don't like the use of the abbreviation so early in the article. Gmarsden 18:36, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

ActionScript

I have serious reservations about ActionScript being listed as a current OOP. It seems to be in no sense a general-purpose programming language, but more of a scripting wrapper that allows access to the Flash object model. It's not clear that anything can be done with it in the absence of Flash, so it seems hardly any more of an OOP than does the the MS-Word macro language. I'd like to see some justification for considering ActionScript to be an an OOP. --Malleus Fatuarum 18:26, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
